NEW RANGER POSITION COMING The Parks & Recreation Director has reassigned a ranger position to Edgewood, which increases staffing from two to three full-time professional rangers. The position is currently open for transfer requests of existing County rangers, with emphasis on resource and habitat management knowledge and abilities. If no transfer occurs, then the County will recruit and hire the best-qualified person to fill the position. Once this process is complete and there are three rangers fully dedicated to Edgewood (staff diversions to Bicycle Sunday have ended), a significant and longstanding goal of the Friends will have been achieved. For many years we have been advocating that a higher level of staff presence in the Preserve is critical to ensure that all visitors have a positive experience while obeying the rules that protect fragile habitat and endangered species of plants and insects. We look forward to welcoming the new ranger into Ricardo and Ric’s team! |
