I have two students that are looking to expand their horizons. A young man who has an AAS degree in Parks and Recreation and is finishing one in Urban Forestry. He would like to work in a parks setting. Good worker and student.

A young lady with a degree in floral design and forestry. Most interested in flower shop position, but would be able to also help in the nursery end of operations. Also excellent student and worker. Travel no problem. Would like to see Austrailia!!

Just drop a line if you are interested in hiring either of these people. They are both people persons, good with the general public.
