Jobs for the Future (JFF) is a leading national workforce nonprofit organization. Funded by the USDA Forest Service and The Kresge Foundation, the goal of the JFF NatureWORKS study is to understand the skills, credentials, and potential of the U.S. green infrastructure workforce.
By participating in this national survey of private sector firms, you are helping us to learn more about installation and maintenance workforce needs in the growing urban green infrastructure sector. Urban green infrastructure workers are primarily in landscaping, horticulture, tree care, urban forestry, nursery/greenhouse, pervious pavement, stormwater/watershed management, grounds/turf management, land conservation, and related industries.
This survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. If you have questions, or would prefer to provide responses through a brief phone interview, send an email to JFF researcher Kevin Doyle (kevinldoyle@gmail.com).
