Dan Ward, 1991

Dan Ward is currently a CAL FIRE Battalion Chief at the Columbia Air Attack Base in Tuolumne County. He received the Golden Trowel Award in 1991 for his excellent work as a Forest Practice Inspector from 1985-1991. During those years Dan discovered numerous archaeological and historical sites on Timber Harvesting Plans he was assigned to review. In almost all cases these were sites which had been overlooked by the RPFs that wrote the plans, and the sites might well have been impacted or destroyed by timber operations had it not been for Dan's Preharvest inspection work. He successfully negotiated protection measures for these sites, even during those years preceding the Board Rules requiring protection of sites.
