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, All Rangers.I appreciate this opportunity to thank not only the rangers and workers I’ve seen in action at the various parks I’ve had the privilege of visiting, but also thanks to all park rangers, workers and volunteers in our many beautiful National Parks! Each Park is awe-inspiring in their own way and all the workers are very knowledgeable about the many different facets of their Park, and always friendly and helpful. I recall a ranger talking about condors at the Grand Canyon. It has really helped us understand and appreciate more about our lands when we’ve taken advantage of these learning opportunities. We likely would not have known these details without our Rangers. Thank you for all your hard work!! You are very much needed and appreciated!
