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, Unknown.Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with me. I am older and had to rest that day. We met shortly after you and your fiance had moved to the park. Several months later, there was a government shut down. I thought of you and hope that you have been okay.

Thank you, All Park Rangers.My family and I visited Mount Rushmore in July 2023 and were amazed by the knowledge and presentation given by the park rangers discussing how the land formed in that area. I truly enjoyed hearing about the facts and left the park with a greater appreciation. Thank you to all who devote their time to educating others about these beautiful wonders and preserving the natural beauty of our National Parks.
