As a forest protection officer, I spent my work days patrolling the forest, looking to contact forest visitors. My main goals for the day were to contact people who were removing forest products, and make sure they were doing so legally.

I aided all departments of the forest service when needed. I helped in a wide range of things. For example, things like search and rescue to cleaning duck boxes to road construction to assisting with forest fires. Too many things to list or even remember.
