Electrical Engineering 
COMMUNICATION The Forest Service has long been 
a leader in communication. Effective voice 
communication over the long distances, vast unsettled 
areas, and rough mountainous terrain of the 
National Forests is an enormous challenge. 
The Forest Service Electrical Engineer meets this 
problem by developing and coordinating a great variety 
of communication systems. This work ranges from 
telephone systems to microwave transmission. 
In addition, the design for power transmission lines, 
private power plants, ski lifts, and large recreational 
developments requires the skills of an electrical 
engineer to coordinate designs with all environmental 
needs of the National Forests.
