The Special Uses Program interfaces with numerous tracks and disciplines on the National Forest scale providing Individual Placements opportunities to learn about disciplines such as Heritage & Archaeology, Biology, Lands, Hydrology, Range, NEPA & Planning, Public Affairs, and others. Individual Placements will also interface heavily with the district-level programs.
