The Deschutes National Forest and Discover Your Forest, friends of the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland, are hosting a Natural Resource Career Fair for high school youth called Finding your Niche in Natural Resources on April 28.
The Natural Resource Career Fair is for high school students, grades 9-12, from Deschutes, Jefferson, Klamath and Crook counties. It will be held on Thursday, April 28 from 3-6pm at the Deschutes Public Library (Downtown Bend Branch/Brooks Room) 601 NW Wall Street, Bend.
