My name is Zach Gabriel. I am originally from Ellensburg, Washington, and my career interests center around resource management, arboriculture, and wildland management. I have a passion for working hard, being outdoors, and taking care of the outdoors which I love to recreate, work, and otherwise spend time in. I have a Bachelors degree from Western Washington University in Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Geography. I have worked many roles in land management, in both private and public sectors. Previous employments include working as a ranch hand in Ellensburg, as a Range Safety Officer and trails crew with Whatcom County Parks, and with Washington Conservation Corps on travelling spike and disaster response crews. My current career goals are to find employment with a tree service in the arboriculture industry and as a wildland firefighter. I am skilled in the use, repair and maintenance of hand tools used for trail work, power equipment such as brush cutters and chainsaws, as well as plant identification, knowledge of ecological systems, and GIS mapping and excel software for logistics coordination. Wherever I work, I can guarantee I am working hard, learning as much as I can, building new skills, and doing my best to meet or exceed expectations.
