I'm a "Forestry Technician" but I work primarily Dev Rec and Trails.
I'm responsible for keeping all of the sites in order in a busy day use area. I generally manage seasonal employees in the summer and work solo in the winter.
Summer is opening all of the picnic sites/trailheads/trails. A lot of clean up, hazard tree removal, logging out and brushing back trails. Site inspections, fixing broken tables, fire rings, grills, painting, repairing bathroom doors that get broken. That type of thing. Keeping trails from getting washed out, completing minor alignments and re-tread projects. A lot of the work is just basic maintenance: cleaning bathrooms, digging out fire pits, weed whacking parking lots, etc.
Winter is some of the same but more pushing snow around and more work in the office getting shit ready for the summer.
