    Most important, we pass the knowledge of the environment we live in and how we always be a part of it.

    Thank you so much for providing this information. Great questions, would love to become one someday.

  • @collegealternativepodcast4369

    Thanks guys! I would also check out Episode 1 out as well where we get into the Park Ranger Training Program at NAU. The Park Service hiring process is a little different than most, so Episode 1 might be helpful as well.

    As far as for camping, might come up with more resoluble uses of camping kit s for 1 to 3 days, etc. That might be easier for camping trips to clean and more safety for parks.
