Dear Nelson City Council,

 

I request the following please.

 

1. Does the council employ park rangers, who are responsible for or patrol
certain areas' ?

 

If so:

 

2. What assets do they cover? local parks, forests, etc?

 

3. How many staff are employed?

 

4. Do they have a roster system that covers 7 days a week or on call?

 

5. Are any trained in fire fighting? if so how many?

 

6. Does the council have any "live in" park rangers, i.e. on the site of a
park/forest?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Harwood Wilson
