Q2 #ParkChat Park rangers do a variety of things to keep parks, refuges, monuments, etc. operating! Maintenance, law enforcement, interpretation, natural resource management, education, administration, and more! What type of ranger do you think you'd like to be and why?

A2: Interpretation or Education--I love sharing the stories of a place and helping people understand what makes that location important or unique #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2: definitely education for those junior rangers. Teaching is in my blood! #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2) We'd probably be the interpretation ranger, we love to learn and tell stories! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 #parkchat A2 a park paleontologist @badlandsnps comes to mind! Or an interpreter working w student groups would be right up my alley.

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2 I’d probably opt to be an interp ranger in park education. Would love doing both kid and adult programs. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2: I would want to design and implement #jrranger programs and then be the one to swear in all the new jr rangers. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2 I always wanted to be in interpretation. Please don't ask me to save people from a bear or an angry bull elk tho. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2. The rangers that stand out to me are the ones that interact with me, whether greeting me around the park entrance, leading a hike, or just out and about somewhere on a park trail. I guess I'd be ok in most any roll that lets me help others enjoy the park. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2: Educational and interpretation for sure. I love History and passing that on to others would be awesome #ParkChat

A2 Great question. I would be one of those hermit rangers that man the fire towers or something. #parkchat

A2. Maintenance (miss “working with my hands”) and/or the impossible task of administration #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2 As a teacher/librarian I think education would be a good fit for me. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2) #Parkchat Interpretation or Education, in order to help people understand the importance of preserving these special places for future generations; when people know more about their surroundings, they are more likely to go out of their way to protect them! Or Law Enforcement

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2. I think this is a common thing must visitors aren’t aware of. Especially in larger parks we have very specific roles. When in small parks you cross many divisions/roles. My job is in interpretation. So I’m one of the friendly frontline rangers giving programs #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2. I’d enjoy doing the evening programs and being as irreverent as possible #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2) I use to be a Seasonal Maintenance Worker at @GoldenGateNPS & if I had been given a full time position afterwards I may have stayed with the @NatlParkService. Instead I've been an NPS Volunteer at @JohnMuirNPS for nearly 25 years now. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @Wild_Tribute A2) Hey #ParkChat pals! Sneaking in here and there tonight. I think I'd thoroughly enjoy running outdoor educational activities and giving campfire talks.

A2 I would LOVE to be one of the #nationalpark rangers that does the rifle and canon demonstrations. I think it would be awesome to learn how these weapons worked and be able to actually fire one! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2 Interpreter. I've done some of that at a local nature preserve. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @59NationalParks A2. Interp is my thing. Leading hikes, working one-on-one or with small groups. I also have a background writing resource management plans, so planning and implementation would be another part of my ideal job. #parkchat
