If you enjoy hard outdoor work and want a legal route to a full season of work in the United States, this new H-2B job order from Oregon deserves a close look. Sprout Forestry Inc, based in Central Point, Oregon, has an ACTIVE job order on the U.S. Department of Labor's official SeasonalJobs.dol.gov site asking for 95 Forest and Conservation Workers for the 2027 season. The offered pay is $17.71 to $40.00 per hour, depending on experience and location, and the employer says shared housing is available at no cost to the worker.
Below we explain the job, the requirements, how the H-2B visa works for this role and how to apply safely.
Job Details at a Glance
- Employer: Sprout Forestry Inc
- Job title: Forest and Conservation Worker (SOC 45-4011)
- Report-to-work location: 576 Maverick St, Central Point, Oregon 97502
- Openings: 95 workers
- Pay: $17.71 to $40.00 per hour (the job order says wage may vary based on experience and/or location worked; a piece-rate offer is also mentioned)

- Hours: 40+ hours per week, usually Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM; weekend or holiday work possible
- Housing: "Optional, shared housing available at no cost to the worker"
- Visa type: H-2B (temporary non-agricultural work)
- DOL case number: H-400-26286-296670
What the Work Involves
According to the job order, duties may include pruning, pre-commercial thinning, tree planting, trail construction and tubing (protecting young trees). Only in the event of an unforeseen fire, and under the direct supervision of fire suppression officers or forestry technicians, workers may help with minor suppression work such as clearing brush and digging fire lines.
This is physically demanding work. The employer states that workers must walk up to 15 miles a day and stoop and bend while carrying a pack of up to 50 lbs through rough, off-trail terrain, in heat, cold and changing weather.
Requirements
- At least 3 months of experience in similar work
- Must be 18 or older (the job involves travel)
- Proof of legal authorization to work in the U.S. (for foreign workers, this is the H-2B visa)
- Drug, alcohol and tobacco-free work zone
- Able to do strenuous outdoor labour for long hours and be available for the entire season
- A background check may be done after hiring, at the employer's expense
Is This Free Visa Sponsorship?
Yes, under the H-2B rules. U.S. regulations for the H-2B program (20 CFR 655.20) require the employer to pay or reimburse visa, visa processing and border-crossing fees in the worker's first workweek, and they bar employers and their recruiters from charging workers any recruitment or job placement fees. That is why we call this free visa sponsorship. The worker still has to attend a visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.
How to Apply
- Step 1: Read the full official listing on SeasonalJobs.dol.gov: https://seasonaljobs.dol.gov/jobs/H-400-26286-296670
- Step 2: Contact the employer using the details published on that page (telephone +1 541 944 1381 or email sproutforestry16@gmail.com, as listed by the DOL).
- Step 3: Send a short, honest message: your name, country, age, your forestry or outdoor work experience (with dates), and that you can work the full season from January to November 2027.
- Step 4: If selected, the employer will guide you through the H-2B steps. Keep copies of every document and message.
Tips to Stand Out
- Show your experience clearly. The order asks for 3 months. Tree planting, nursery work, landscaping, farm work or forestry thinning all help, so say how long you did each.
- Prove you are fit. Mention any work that involved long walks or carrying heavy loads.
- Be available for the full season. Employers prefer workers who can stay from start to finish.
- Reply fast. H-2B job orders fill quickly, especially those with 95 openings and free housing.
Scam Warning
Never pay an agent, "consultant" or website for this job or for an H-2B visa. Under U.S. rules, recruitment fees are not allowed, and visa fees are the employer's cost. Only use the contact details shown on the official DOL page. If someone asks you for money to "reserve a seat", report it.
