Jim Junette New Stanislaus National Forest District Ranger
Sonora, CA … Beginning June 2nd, the Stanislaus National Forest will have a new District Ranger on the Groveland Ranger District, Jim Junette, a 23 year employee of the forest on another district. ”It has been my desire to be a District Ranger my entire career. Everything I’ve done has always been to better prepare myself for when the right opportunity presented itself,” said Junette, (select) District Ranger, Groveland Ranger District. “When the Groveland position opened up, it just seemed right. It is a great district with so much to offer.” Junette has held five positions on the Calaveras RD: timber marker, marking crew foreman, assistant culturist, small sales officer, and Resource Management Program Area Leader....
“Jim’s experience working with the surrounding communities, many of which are the gateway to Yosemite National Park will be invaluable to his new position,” said Susan Skalski, Forest Supervisor, Stanislaus NF. “He also has a background with post-fire restoration and on working with collaboratives. This will be especially helpful in moving forward with land management on the Groveland Ranger District.”
For the short term Junette will focus attention on getting the District fully staffed to accommodate all of the resource needs and demands. Attention will also be focused on getting the Rim Fire area reopened to the public by removing hazard trees from roads. The closure area will be reopened as soon as it is safe to allow access again.
“These areas are used by thousands of local citizens and tourists every year,” said Junette. “Our localcommunities rely on those visitors to support their businesses and livelihoods.” For more information or to speak with a Visitor Information Specialist, call the Stanislaus Supervisor’s Office at: 209-532-3671; Calaveras Ranger District (RD) at 209-795-1381; Groveland RD at 209-962-7825; Mi-Wok RD at 209-586-3234; or Summit RD at 209-965-3434.
