YCC Crew Leader

May - August 2019 • Cedar City, UT

What I liked

This was an IIC internship, so I was working with the Forest Service in the Cedar Ranger District. I loved being outside every day in the forest, and we did a variety of jobs from trail building and repair to installing new campground features to fuels reduction. It was instructive to work with the different departments within the FS, like range, fire, recreation, and hydrology. I loved working with my youth crew, who had energy and exuberance for the duration of the summer. I got to develop my leadership and communication skills and work in a fun, positive environment that I may even pursue as a future career.

What I wish was different

Really the only things I would have liked to have done differently is worked in more areas of the Dixie National Forest. We typically had our projects near Duck Creek or Panguitch Lake, with a couple of exceptions. More exposure to other parts of the district would have been interesting. Also, I wanted to use my chainsaw more... But there's other internships for that :)

Advice

Carry plenty of water and pack a good lunch, because some of the projects are very laborious and it gets hot during the summer, even on the mountain. Invest in a good pair of work/hiking shoes, or a hybrid of the two. It's also helpful to facilitate interaction with your crew, especially at the beginning of the season to help people settle into the routine and feel comfortable. Building trust and communicating helps every other aspect of the job go smoothly.
