Grand Canyon Ranger

We just got back from a trip to the Grand Canyon and met an amazing park ranger on the Bright Angel Trail who was so friendly and helpful about length and how strenuous the trail was back up to the trail head. I would like to personally thank her!!

Don Stahl

He was incredibly helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. Even though this was 50 years ago, I still remember him very well. He taught me so much.

Emily D. Hewitt

Thanks for all that you do in your role as a NPS Ranger, but most of all for being an excellent volunteer coordinator! Your devoted efforts to keep park volunteers informed and appreciated does not go unnoticed. Thank you soooo much. YOU are appreciated!

anyone

ALL of you are among the very best of all of us. You represent the values, ethics, and concerns of the entire idea of the United States of America. If I were a few decades younger, I'd choose a degree in something that helps preserve and conserve the fragile and beautiful environment of our lucky nation/continent. As it is, I'm relying on YOU to continue your underpaid, overwhelming, overworked missions! Thank you.

Ranger at Great Smoky Mountains

No matter which national park we've visited, we have found the rangers informative and eager to share their knowledge. The programs are interesting, informative, and usually great fun for the kids. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work making the parks a wonderful place to be. Our most recent conversation with a ranger was in the Great Smoky Mountains NP. We asked about some hiking trails to see wild flowers. When the ranger looked at our marked up map, he pointed out that a couple of the hikes we planned to do were in areas under construction and closed.

Jen Epstein

Jen went all out to provide creative, engaging and empowering experiences for my high school students, not just on field trips but through curriculum enhancements and helping a group of high school history buffs start an after school club. In all kinds of weather, weekend after weekend, she worked with the students to develop their skills as well as fostering a sense of belonging and ownership in our national parks. She taught me so much about being an impactful educator along the way. She is as much of a treasure as the parks themselves!
