What your day-to-day might look like?

You’ll spend 90% of your time in the field, operating equipment like large trucks, UTVs, brush cutters, cutting tools, and chainsaws—don’t worry, safety is always the top priority. You’ll use GPS mapping systems to navigate and document your work, and you’ll get hands-on experience with backpack and hand sprayers for herbicide application.   Keeping everything running smoothly, you’ll report any equipment maintenance needs and even perform some basic upkeep yourself.
