Park Rangers maintain strict standards regarding the presentation and safety of parks, as well as educating and protecting the public. They’re front-line ambassadors for areas of natural interest and are often the first point of contact for visitors. Duties can vary depending on the local landscape. For example, some Park Rangers might ride snowmobiles, while others may ride on horseback. They’re usually pivotal for search and rescue missions and often act as authority figures, with the authority to conduct arrests when violations occur. Acquiring permits, disposing of trash and adhering to fire safety protocols often fall into a Park Ranger’s remit.
