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, Michelle & Rick Farragher .We wish to thank all the park ambassadors and rangers for their kindness and knowledge. In the past 2 years we have visited 34 National Parks, without the advice from the park employees we would have missed the most amazing sights and experiences. We also could have ventured into an unpleasant encounter as well. The knowledge you share makes the adventures more memorable. Thank you!

Thank you, Park Rangers.We visited this park (North Rim) in October 2018, just after the visitor's center closed. When we returned home, I wrote to ask for brochures from the park, since I collect and save all the brochures from parks we visit. The rangers very kindly sent me what I asked for. Thank you again.
