In the late afternoon, early evening of Friday, September 4, 2015 a thunderstorm with high winds rolled through Sharon Woods Metro Park causing several trees to fall across the trails. Typically, our outstanding maintenance staff would take care of such issues, but they had gone home for the evening. Since maintenance staff were not scheduled until the afternoon the following day, a Ranger trained in the use of a chainsaw, took care of the issue in the morning. This cleared the trail early in the day for our visitors, without having to call in maintenance on their time off, and without incurring any extra cost to the tax payer. Just one of the many hats a Ranger may wear during the day. It is one of the things that makes a Ranger a Ranger. We don't just patrol the park and deal with law enforcement issues, we take CARE of the park.
