21 Forestry Technicians Tim Parry and Nick Randall were both hired in 2020 as the newest members of the Forestry Office at the Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch (NRB).
The forestry program at Fort McCoy covers tens of thousands of acres of forested land. Fort McCoy Forester Charles Mentzel said the mission of the forestry program plays an important role at the installation.
