Subject: RE: Interesting and Unusual Careers ray6foot7 - 2012-01-11 5:23 PM This may count as unusual or interesting. I am a service forester in Oklahoma. My job is basically to answer questions and give advice on trees and land management issues. Today, before lunch, as prescribed burn consultants we got to hike around a nearby lake to inspect fire lines that were constructed last week. Hopefully, if the weather cooperates next week, we can watch it burn, I mean oversee the burn operation. At lunch, I donned the running shoes and did some trail running around the lake. After lunch, I assisted two landowners. The first needed advice on how to eradicate red cedar from his 100 acre ranch. The second wanted me to age some of his trees and to know the history of the pecan tree. Interesting to me as a home gardener in Oklahoma. |
