I had lots of people, park service personnel as well as other volunteers pulling for me. Passing the pack test was the biggest challenge. Since I’ve been placed at Oscar Scherer Sate Park, AmeriCorps has helped me put the icing on the cake so to speak. To date I have taken part in 14 burns at several state parks and have had the opportunity to volunteer for strike team duty. It is still early in the season and there is lots of burning to do.

In 1973, I enlisted in the Navy Seabees and traveled to many foreign countries and on occasion crossed paths with Peace Corps members. It was always a thought in my mind to maybe join. Near the end of my eight years in the Navy, I went with a Civic Action Team to the Palau Islands in Micronesia. The team, to me, was the military’s version of the Peace Corps.

After a season as a part-time Park Ranger, the AmeriCorps position was offered to me. I have always been of the community service bent, volunteering in many areas such as Habitat for Humanity, as a volunteer firefighter, and helping with food drives to restock local community food shelves. Joining AmeriCorps would be a continuation of this life-long desire to be of service to my community and to my fellow man. I am thrilled to be an AmeriCorps member and will most likely pursue my other desire to become a Park Ranger. ~ Scott Jacob<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>Team Placement – North<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>I participated in AmeriCorps in 1999-2000 and can honestly say it was the best year of my life. I say “best” because not only did I have a great time, but I met interesting people from all over the globe, learned about the natural and cultural resources offered by Florida State Parks, gained the skills necessary for a successful career with the park service and oh, did I mention that I had a <i>really</i> good time? Our team of nine travelled to parks from St. Augustine to Sebastian Inlet and as far west as Lakeland. We would stay anywhere from one day to a week doing whatever the parks needed. Some of the things we did included planting sprigs of Spartina grass for habitat restoration at Tosohatchee Preserve, conducting a Beach Mice survey to determine the density of the mice at Anastasia State Park, repairing an ADA-accessible boardwalk at Sebastian Inlet State Park, removing exotic plants and repairing fence line at Wekiwa Springs State Park and giving interpretation programs. It felt great to know that I was helping park staff to achieve their mission of providing resource based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring Florida’s natural and cultural
