The new district ranger for the Williams and Tusayan Ranger Districts was looking to use her forestry and engineering background in a collaborative way when she was offered the position at Kaibab National Forest.
“I’m not your introverted engineer type. I like working with people on projects and working in all the different resource areas,” said Debra Mollet, who is just settling into her new office at the Clover Ranger Station.
Mollet replaces Danelle Harrison, who left last fall to be the Deputy Forest Supervisor for the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
As district ranger, Mollet will work with staff to manage the 887,543 acres of the South District of Kaibab National Forest.
She will oversee everything from logging and prescribed fire to recreation, grazing and other forest uses.
