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, Marianna Colon & Kayla Massaro.Marianna and Kayla went above and beyond to meet with our Eco Warriors student group! They gave a presentation about our local environment , invasive species and ways that the students can help the planet for the future. Their enthusiasm and kindness left a lasting impression with the students, and a few of them even changed their long term goals to becoming a park ranger! Thank you both so much for dedication and service!
