What positions qualify as 'green'?

A green job is any job that positively contributes to environmental sustainability—whether by protecting natural spaces, reducing carbon footprints, or supporting conservation efforts. In the CPRA Green Jobs Initiative, this means jobs that help care for parks, recreation spaces, and natural areas while promoting sustainable practices.

Green jobs can include:
🌿 Conservation roles – Restoring habitats, planting trees, and protecting biodiversity.
🌱 Sustainable recreation – Supporting eco-friendly tourism, park maintenance, and outdoor education.
♻️ Climate action – Helping communities adapt to climate change through green infrastructure and resource management.
🌍 Waste & energy solutions – Encouraging recycling, energy efficiency, and sustainable resource use.

Ultimately, green jobs aren’t just about working in nature—they’re about building a future where communities thrive alongside a healthy environment.
