Science-based solutions for land management
The Center for Ecosystem Climate Solutions (CECS) is developing the science-based tools California needs to more effectively manage its natural lands for climate change.
CECS brings together researchers, managers, and practitioners from across the state, who are all working to improve the health and resilience of our communities and the ecosystems we depend on.
Berkeley Forests is hiring for our summer field crew positions! These positions are a great opportunity to assist with forest research and management through a variety of field work and inventory - while living in a beautiful place!
