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, Ms. & Mr. Park Ranger.I just want all of you wonderful National Parks people to know how much my family and I appreciate you and the help and service and education you've provided for us as we visited our wonderful parks.
