Forest Ranger; Marty Scott, Forest Ranger and Austin Gee, Forest Ranger, who have worked at many of the county's conservation areas including North Sebastian Conservation Area, Sebastian Harbor Preserve, Pelican Island Elementary School Scrub Jay Habitat, Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area, South Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area and Hallstrom Farmstead Conservation Area have demonstrated tireless dedication, professionalism, integrity and a commendable work ethic during their visits. Trevor Taylor, Forest Area Supervisor for Indian River and St. Lucie Counties has coordinated the mitigation team's visits and has also worked closely with Ms. Powell on prescribed burns and firebreak installations on several conservation areas. Again, his team works with dedication, professionalism and responsiveness. Melissa,Yunas, Wildfire Mitigation Specialist, has provided timely press releases and information to our residents and community about the importance of prescribed burning and wildfire threats.
