Day in the Life of a Park Ranger


Wednesday March 14

Today I found an article on an interesting program, “Town of Southern Pines, North Carolina Hosts a Day in the Life of a Park Ranger”. Here is a brief about this program.
“Ages 6-12 enjoyed a quick look at the life of a park ranger and learned the operations and tasks that a park ranger needs to know; behind-the-scenes work, leading and teaching groups about enviromental awareness, now they decide where to develop trails, awareness of the environmental responsibilities and challenges of the job.”

I also really like their mission:
“Southern Pines encourages citizen involvement in planning and guiding Town programs and services. In addition to regular Boards and Commissions, citizens participate in special committees, such as the one which guided the development of the Comprehensive Long-Range Plan.” For more information, please contact Sue Gillis at (910) 692-2463 or visit http://www.southernpines.net/Recreation/Programs.aspx
