BLM Seeks Campground Hosts, Jan. 29

The Bureau of Land Management Northwest Oregon District is looking for spring and summer campground hosts at several of their recreation sites. Recreation sites are a great example of how the BLM serves the American family by being good neighbors, supporting traditional land uses such as grazing, and providing access to hunting, fishing, and other recreational opportunities. Campground hosts reside in their own RV at the campground they are hosting. The campground hosts are typically responsible for the following: * Greeting guests; * Helping guests solve problems; * Cleaning exterior and interior facilities (particularly bathroom buildings); and * Maintaining camp sites and restrooms. In the BLM Northwest Oregon District there are openings at: Alsea Falls Recreation Site (Along the South Fork Alsea River National Back Country Byway, between the small communities of Alsea and Alpine); Canyon Creek Recreation Site (located within the Little North Santiam Recreation Area); Clay and Whittaker Creek Recreation Sites (Approximately 50 miles west of Eugene, in the Cascade Mountains coast range); Elkhorn Valley Recreation Site (located within the Little North Santiam Recreation Area); Hult Pond (located 28 miles northwest of Eugene and five miles north of Horton); Molalla Corridor (east of Molalla); Sharps Creek Recreation Site (20 miles east of Cottage Grove, includes 11 units and is located adjacent to a naturally-formed swimming area fed by the waters of Sharps Creek); Wildwood Recreation Site (40 miles east of Portland near Mt. Hood along the Wild and Scenic Salmon River); Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area: Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area is a 100-acre day-use area managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The park is located on a prominent headland just three miles north of Newport, on Oregon’s scenic Central Coast:  * Need: Interpretive Guide and Interpretive host.  Additional information about recreation in the Pacific Northwest is available online at: www.blm.gov/visit
