#Junior Forest Rangers

Bull of the Woods is a traditional name for forestry or logging sports competition. Join in the fun at our annual light-hearted competition and indigenous culture day.

Are you a full-time high school students between 16-18 years old? Do you love the outdoors? If so, then look into becoming a Junior Forest Ranger (JFR) crew member for a summer job like no other!

Check out crew locations, key dates, forms, recommended equipment and FAQs for the JFR program.

All JFR crews can expect a camp experience with a routine schedule. Each crew is a little different, but they all include a mix of hard work, adventure and team building.

Outdoor living is a lot easier when you have the proper equipment. Take a look at the JFR equipment lists for some suggestions.

JFR's work doesn't end with the summer. Find out how you can hear from JFR staff at career fairs or arrange for a presentation at your school.

Launching in Alberta in 1965, the Junior Forest Rangers program has grown over the decades. Today, we are an inclusive program that strives to pay fair wages, provide world-class natural resource management training and highlight Indigenous culture across the province.

Every week, our JFR crews submit a video blog to showcase what the crew worked on. Check out some of the vlogs from the past few summers.
