If you’ve ever walked among the giants before, it’s a truly humbling experience. Giant Sequoia’s are the world’s largest trees. They live over 3,000 years and can grow over 300 feet tall. Some of their trunks are wide enough to drive a car through.
Looking to feel small and in awe of mother nature’s powers? Just take a stroll through the giants of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon NPs are part of the greater California Sierras, a place near and dear to my heart. With pine needles on the ground, rushing streams filled with icy snowmelt, and towering granite faces these parks will take your breath away. That is to say, The Sierras are a true Californian paradise. I’ve been around the world, and I have yet to find a pleasanter experience than breathing in the morning light of the Sierras.
Sequoia Parks Conservancy is the non-profit affiliate of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon NPs. They play a critical role in the conservation of the beautiful and wild landscapes of the Sierras. Whether you’re looking for a foot in the door in the non-profit sector, interested in conservation, a budding naturalist, or just want to enjoy the scenery and meet some cool people, SPC has great opportunities.
Location, Location, Location
All of the jobs at SPC are located inside the namesake national parks. As a result, no matter what role you find in your work the hiking, climbing, and all around adventuring potential will be through the roof!
You’re gonna become an expert in the Kings Canyon and Sequoia NPs, but no need to stop there. In the same vein of the parks themselves, the land outside their borders is ripe for exploration.
SPC is within driving distance of the Sequoia National Forest, Sierra National Forest, and Death Valley. After a work week in paradise you and your SPC buddies are going be planning some pretty dope weekend trips. The half-day hike to Takopah Falls has a killer work-reward ratio, plus the trail’s resident Marmots make for great companions.
Once you’ve gotten a little tired of hanging out with trees head into Three Rivers Village for a bite and a beer. Three Rivers Brewing is the perfect spot to have a pint among the pines 😉 .
