Hi Ameet - An email from the National Parks Foundation gave me the opportunity to say thanks to a national park team member. So I picked you, since I don't know any other NPS team members! Hope all's well up there in Portland/Vancouver area. Take care and have fun, Janet

There is nothing more healing than nature's own ... the ions from the trees assists humans to recover from depression and anxiety. Thank youi all who work in the Parks for your diligence!!!

To all park employees. Keep up the good work.

Dear Park Ambassadors: As a former Natl. Park Ranger (Interp.), I wholeheartedly support all who love and help maintain and enhance our National Parks, esp. behind the scenes! American Treasures with a capital “T”! I don’t take your work for granted… I can see it, I can feel it, and I can share it, and for that, I’m truly thankful to all of you. Do you know who else is thankful? The earth, the sky, the animals, the plants, and the children… aka, critical infrastructure! So, keep on loving what you’re doing because millions of people from all around the world are reaping the benefits.

Love the rangers and of course the Park!

I would like to thank all of the Rangers at Yosemite Nat. Park who make our Park experience more enjoyable. Gary Hartung, Thousand Oaks CA

Thank you for all the work you do! Our trip to Yosemite was incredible 2 years ago. We went for my mom's birthday and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The park is absolutely beautiful thanks to all your efforts.

Keep the faith and our Earth will survive.

Thank you Shelton for your easy manner and thorough presentation about the Buffalo Soldiers and the history of that time in the Park. I still remember you after at least 15 years.

Dear Park Ranger, I have visited many national parks and I never miss a chance to chat with a park ranger on my trips. I will stand in line to ask about favorite trails, animals to watch for, or any exciting happenings. Park rangers are an amazing fount of knowledge and are always willing to share. I am always grateful for your expertise and helpfulness and friendliness. I chose to write to Joshua Tree rangers because I have been there multiple times (from both the 29 palms and the south gates) and still always make time to talk to a ranger.
