      OPS Exotics Ranger

      As an OPS Exotics Ranger, I would explore the park in search of invasive plant species and remove them to help support the native plant species. I mixed chemicals to be used in the removal of Invasive species. I would also maintain trails, using chainsaws, pole saws, hedge trimmers, and tractors, to ensure a safe/enjoyable experience for park guests. I would maintain any equipment used in the field. I was trained in proper PPE use. I gave nature exhibits to help inform park guest of the nature and wildlife around them. Show less
