Abstract:

The park rangers of the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation are fewer than 200 in number. Since 1916, they have had care of the park system - rivers, lakes, recreation areas, and almost four dozen state parks. Ellis discusses the history of the park system, a ranger's duties, and why park rangers are so passionate about their jobs.
