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, Rangers.As a 10 yo, in 1965, my family moved from MA to WA, taking 6 weeks to do so. Dad made plans to visit as many National Parks as we could. Grand Teton is where the Ranger told us the history of the park & about the geology. Somewhere I have a small rock from the park. I remember my wonder upon wakening, opening the trailer door & looking up & up to the top of giant rock peaks. I gasped at the beauty. That picture is firmly in my memory. Thanks to my Dad who helped us all feel the wonder & glory of our parks. Thank you all!

Thank you, All Park Rangers.Two years ago, my 86 year-old father asked me to go on a trip to the national parks across the united states for his bucket list. Every park that we encountered a park Ranger, they were extremely helpful, friendly, courteous, and made our adventure, an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you so much. You all are a blessing. And on a sidenote, I’m a retired military veteran and one of the Rangers at the gate told me about the national Park pass, which I knew nothing about.
