National Park Ambassadors

They maintain habitats, educate visitors, and preserve history. They're rangers, museum curators, engineers, volunteers, landscape architects, and fire fighters. They're the treasured stewards of our national parks. They're National Park Ambassadors.

Behind every national park is a team of ordinary people who are dedicated to maintaining the extraordinary. They may not wear capes, but they're heroes in our book. Meet the individuals who protect our parks and send thanks to an NPS employee or volunteer who made your last visit extra special.

Thank you, Emily Creek.Emily, as one of your former teachers, I just want to say I am proud of you and the work you are doing for NPS. Ken Burns said that the National Park is America's best idea. You are part of that truth. If I ever get to Alaska, I want to see Denali and of course the park where you now work. I wish you continued success and happiness.
