In addition, staff members are the stewards of our public open space lands. Rangers protect our community's resources through law enforcement, interpretive programs, special events such as trail work days & trail education days, and our year round vegetation management program which involves brush clearance and management of over 1,000,000 square feet of grass lands in conjunction with the Ventura County Fire Department. Rangers identify and flag new hiking trails for development and maintain trails with a keen eye for environmental sensitivity and public safety. Continual efforts are made to eradicate exotic and non-native plants so as to maintain the delicate eco -systems needed to sustain plant and animal communities which range from deer and mountain lion to the west - tern pond turtle. Finally, our Rangers are annually involved with numerous construction projects which enable park visitors to safely traverse and enjoy our precious lands. They provide staff support for special events and respond to emergencies. 2008109 2009110 2010111 Capital Outlay Communication Equipment $2,500 $2,500 Picnic Tables $1,600 Storage Shed 6,000 wcs-p-cosca $7,600 $2,500 $2,500 6/2/2009 10:54 AM 25
