Park ranger (interpretive)

Interpretive park rangers help visitors understand and appreciate parks through education and engagement. The work involves leading tours and programs, answering questions, telling the stories of a park's nature and history, staffing visitor centres, and responding to visitor needs and emergencies.

They work for national, state, and local parks. The role suits enthusiastic, knowledgeable people who love nature and history and enjoy sharing them, can engage and educate visitors of all kinds, and combine the communication skills of a teacher with the practical readiness to help in the outdoors.
