Park Ambassadors

I was once a Park Guide at Lowell National Park and I know how challenging a job it can be: making sure visitors know what to expect, answering a myriad of questions, being knowledgeable in many subject areas. And the patience of dealing with the public :) I try to visit Lowell and other Parks whenever I can and always appreciate you hard working Park Ambassadors. Keep up the good work!

Mike Fernandes and Rich Hansen

I'd like to thank Mike and Rich from the Lowell National Historic Park for their dedication fighting fires at the front lines of the impacts of climate change on our National Parks. This September, for two weeks, 16 hours per day, Mike and Rich were helping to fight the "Dixie Fire" in California, as members of the Cape Cod National Seashore Fire Crew. Thank you Mike and Rich for rising to this challenge!

Eric Hanson-Plass

Eric was a constant inspiration to me when I worked as a volunteer at Boston NHP. His energy, intelligence, dedication and openness to try new and innovative things were a pleasure to behold. It is a credit to the NPS, and to their visitors, that they can attract and have people like this on their staff.
