Joshua Tree National Park is recruiting new members for their robust preventative search and rescue or (PSAR) team.
PSAR Field Educator volunteers provide visitor safety information at trailheads and on trails to prevent visitor injury and illness. During a PSAR patrol, a volunteer will provide thorough and accurate hiker safety presentations to overnight hikers, day hikers, and climbers. These presentations are informal and conversational. A volunteer will hike between 1-10 miles on assigned trails on a typical patrol, depending on their ability and the assignment. They may also staff popular trailheads to contact visitors before they begin hiking.
You have until September 23rd to apply – you can find the link below alongside other volunteer positions available at the park.
