Summary

As far as I can remeber, Ive always had a strong affinity and sense of resposibity to nature and our wildife within it. Over the past couple of years, I decided to start my path towards a role where, I feel I can become the greatest assest possible, in advocation of our National Forrests through wildland managment. I wish to become part of an Organization which would allow me to continue my growth as that assest within a team dedicated to its protection and survival.
