The Lake County Forest Preserves is now hiring for a wide range of temporary positions, offering opportunities to work outdoors and support some of the county’s most popular destinations.

“We’re preparing for a busy spring and summer and are looking for people who want hands-on work in a natural setting,” said Laurel Diver, deputy director of human resources and risk. “These temporary roles are a great fit for anyone interested in customer service, recreation or outdoor operations.”

At Independence Grove Forest Preserve in Libertyville, openings include food and beverage attendants for the popular Beer Garden. Attendants serve as cashiers and help operate, maintain and stock food and beverage supplies. Applicants must be legally eligible to serve alcohol.

Additional temporary positions at Independence Grove include attendants who assist visitors at the entrance gate, marina and visitors center.

Several temporary positions are also open in the grounds maintenance division. These roles focus on keeping buildings and grounds clean and well maintained. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and available to work weekends and holidays.
