Dear Rangers and Volunteers,
From the ranger who told us about litter and how it builds up and destroys beauty, when we were in Yosemite NP (I was 10). To the ranger on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon this summer… Thank you. You have been the finest history, environmental education, geology, flora, bird and fauna teachers with enduring stories (Bristlecone pine in Great Basin cut down to count rings!!!), compelling information of how food and water shaped human history - Denali NP, sensory experiences (Ponderosa Pine butterscotch in what was it? Colorado something) and the amazing hints like “head over to Navajo Bridge to see the Condors”. You have enriched, expanded and informed in the best manner possible - experientially!
Stupendous landscapes should be precious to each American, lord knows they are treasures the rest of the world comes to engage with! Our National Parks are gorgeous but rangers always deepen the beauty, explode the heart and lead us into love with our land.
My family and I say the deepest thank you. Rangers, you always come up tops on our gratitude lists!
