Attention: Jason Simpson

Hi Jason,

In answer to your question: No, we don’t employ Wildlife Rangers as such.
Our 10 Bushland Management Unit staff are referred to as Park Rangers and
their key role is revegetation of indigenous flora species. They work a 76
hour 9 day fortnight.

Our role as far as indigenous wildlife goes is confined to nest boxes and
fauna monitoring. Feral animals such as foxes, India Mynas and rabbits are
controlled by contract pest exterminators.

If you have any further enquiries please feel free to contact me on 9490
4222.

Regards

David Legat
