Natural History Wanderings

from Organ Pipe Cactus National Park

Today, we celebrate the park rangers who protect and preserve natural, historical, and cultural resources across the world.

From building and maintaining trails, enforcing laws, monitoring plants and wildlife, restoring sensitive habitat, educating visitors, and more, it’s clear that rangers wear MANY hats (including the funny looking one.) Every day in the United States and across the globe, rangers put their brains and bodies on the line to preserve important public resources.

The next time you visit a national park, be sure to thank the public servants who work hard to make your visit enjoyable, memorable, and safe!
