Carbondale Recreation Center Director and Rec Programs Manager Jessi Rochel carries out supplies for swim lessons at the Carbondale pool.
Jessi Rochel has seen a fair bit of the world through her sports, academic and leisure travels, but there’s no place like home to pursue her passion for community recreation.
With the dual title of Carbondale Recreation/Community Center Manager and Recreation Programs Manager for the town, Rochel has been a big part of all things fun and active Carbondale has to offer since she was a teenager attending Roaring Fork High School.
Before graduating from RFHS in 2003, Rochel was already involved with the town’s various rec programs, helping with Start Smart Soccer and T-ball and score-keeping at youth and adult league tournaments.
The procedure is part of Carbondale’s weed management plan for town parks.
“Burning underbrush is one of the town’s mitigation techniques for soil health and weed control at the Nature Park and a key strategy identified in the Carbondale Integrated Weed Management Plan for 2021,” the release states.
Daily burning operations at the Nature Park are dependent upon weather conditions.
A copy of the town’s comprehensive weed management plan and 2021 park-specific plans can be found on the Carbondale Recreation Center website, at http://www.carbondalerec.com
