REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Redwood National Park Road Removal Assessment
Road Removal Technician, Redwood National and State Parks, 2021 – 2022
Conducted a logging road assessment of hundreds of acres of post logged terrain in Redwood National Park. Created a rating system and database for cataloging roads so project management could make informed decisions on removal of roads for overall sediment reduction in the Redwood Creek watershed. Maps to help support site understanding and report writing were made on a weekly timeline detailing terrain, ownership boundaries, biological boundaries, and streamlines and buffers.

Preliminary mapping of site to help create field maps for geologists and other professionals to make informed decisions beyond the scope of their visual line of site.
