When we started working at the refuge we were given quite a wardrobe of work clothes. We got polo shirts, tee shirts, cardigans, wind breakers and hats all with the refuge logo on them and very good quality. We also were sent to the local shoe store for some good quality work boots -- for both of us. Nothing is too good for government workers.
We also have access to several refuge vehicles. The volunteers have access to a Ford Ranger, Suburban, Explorer, Expedition and an HHR (a car). There is also a Ford 350 truck that is sometimes available. The day to day work is done with the Ford Ranger (the guys) use this to go clean restrooms, haul garbage, etc. The gals use the HHR mostly to go to the post office and pick up the mail. The other vehicles are used for special projects when you need to haul more than two people. It sure beats a little golf cart that we had at the campgrounds we've worked at before this.
Some of the other work the guys do is a little more strenuous such as trimming trees. This picture of a honey mesquite tree shows how large the spines can be on these trees. This makes it difficult to trim them without getting stabbed.
Don't forget you can always click on these pictures and make them bigger.
