All Park Ambassadors

Thank you for keeping our National Parks safe. For being an information source for my future travels. I watch several Vanlife YouTube channels who always say that the Park Rangers and employees/volunteers are very helpful resources of information. I look forward to visiting several parks in the very near future.

Your passion for your positions with the National Park Service at Acadia National Park were quite evident when my husband and I were there in early October. We actually crossed paths with you along the Shore Path one evening. You were very kind and very enthusiastic about your service as rangers. We learned a great deal from both of you. We could hear in your voice and your words YOUR personal commitment to how you each serve the public and help us understand what great resources we have in all the national parks.

I wish to thank ALL of the hard working men and women park rangers across the country for their efforts in maintaining our precious wild lands and service to visitors in the parks.

The national parks are a vital resource for the environment as well as for the people and wildlife in the US. They obviously need people to work in them and your efforts are appreciated.
