Joint Base Lewis-McChord is an approximately 92,200-acre military reservation located in western Washington and is a major military facility for both weapons qualifications and field training.
Major land uses within the JBLM boundary fall into two principal areas: the cantonment area (approximately 11,100 acres), and training areas (approximately 76,900 acres).

Joint Base Lewis-McChord manages its properties in accordance with all Federal environmental laws and regulations, including the Sikes Act, National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, DOD and JBLM environmental regulations. Joint Base Lewis-McChord requires technical support for environmental programs to ensure that federal, and state environmental regulations are met while minimizing the impact to military training mission. The Fish & Wildlife and Forestry Programs would like to engage natural resource experts in order to perform biological monitoring and ecosystem management, including mechanical, biological, chemical tools to enhance the natural landscape of JBLM and thus meet regulatory requirements.
