Q4 #ParkChat The biggest benefit in many people's opinion is that us park rangers get to have public lands quite literally as our backyards, as most of us live where we work. What would you be the most excited about if you had this opportunity?

Q5 #ParkChat Small things you take for granted, like internet, cell phone signal and running water, are far and few between in a lot of parks. How would you handle these problems? Would you be excited to not have the pressures of modern society? Would you miss it?

Q9 #ParkChat The only reason that park rangers have the ability to share our love for public lands is because of you, the wonderful people that care about these places. What can you do, even if you're not a park ranger, to help protect public lands from your home?
