Finally, I would like to highlight various skills I have gained over the past six weeks. Within the first few days on-site, I learned proper herbicide and pesticide handling techniques, including how to mix them according to their container and target species. Next, through exposure, I acquired plant identification knowledge and learned how to distinguish between the island’s native and non-native plants. Also, I have slowly been taught how to use several pieces of essential equipment, including brush cutters, weed-wackers, pole saws, and leaf blowers. Currently, I am going through the National Park’s “Sawyer Level” chainsaw certification class. I have passed the written assessment and will complete the field assessment in the coming week(s). TrailSafe objectives and the importance of personal protective equipment has been emphasized relentlessly during my time at Fort Pulaski.
