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, Park Rangers.I’m so grateful for the service you provide. I’ve been lucky enough to live very close , and for 25 years have been able to explore the Smokies. The trails are amazing and because of you all the park is safe and beautiful. Every ranger I’ve asked a question to has been enthusiastic and incredibly supportive of how to best help us enjoy our time in the park. I grew up in CA, where there are so many National Parks. My family has always loved being in nature. And because we as a country have these incredible places to go , I learned the joy of being outside, and taking inthe smell and sounds of these majestic places. Thank you for all your dedication to keeping the parks an incredible experience for all who visit.
