NATIONAL FORESTS -- National forests across the country, including the Colville National Forest, are still filling summer job positions.

The currently available jobs in northeastern Washington are temporary summer positions that start in the late spring or early summer and typically last until the fall, said Colville Forest spokesman Franklin Pemberton. The positions available are in Republic, Kettle Falls, Colville and Newport.

The jobs are in natural resources, including visitor information assistant, archeological assistant, forestry technician, hydrologic technician, biological science technician and range assistant.
