At Youth Conservation Crew, as a member of the trail crew, I learned how to clear and level surfaces that were unevenly structured on trails I was able to push wagons full of crushed industrial gravel roughly 4-5 km on uneven trails in hot and humid weathers in different Portland parks Had to dig holes on sides of trails to put up fences to ensure safety amongst penetrations who walk in parks

As a Seasonal Maintenance Worker, I had to rake, sweep, and shovel debris and trash in paved surfaces, paths, walks, curbs, public in different locations I was assigned to with a supervisor

I operated a variety of hand-held power tools (weed whacker, blower, saws) to clear out invasive plant species such as Himalayan Blackberries, Tree of Heaven Used a blower to blow piles of leaves surrounding public spaces
