The type of Forester I wish to become is one who is part of the park and recreation management along with the trail inspection or maintenance aspect. That way I can be social when I like, but also work alone on different projects. Although working outside is one of my dreams, it can also be a nuisance with extremely hot, cold, dry or wet weather. At least it’s better than sitting in an office chair for hours on end.
With my grandparents owning a part of forest property, every time I visit, I go down there to get away from reality or help clean the trails up. This is why I want to pursue this kind of career path. An OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) trail worker or a volunteer would be really cool as well, because I love to ride four-wheelers and motor cycles.
