The Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) is seeking applicants for a temporary

that need trail work in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. All

at the ATC office in Lyme, N.H. The technician will complete data collection 
templates and photograph overnight sites, parking lots, side trails, bridges, 
and other trail assets encountered during the assessment process. The applicant 
must have prior trail crew experience, preferably in New England, basic 
computer skills, and proficiency in Word, Access, and Excel. Prior experience using 
GPS is desirable, but we will provide training if necessary. This job will 
require long hours in the field and extensive travel. Must be comfortable working 
in the woods alone, but also be willing to work with volunteers. Vehicle 
available for long-distance travel, but must be willing to use own transportation 
occasionally. This position will be compensated at $8.50 per hour. Work travel
