What is a park ranger's life? * A wild bear who favors Kentucky Fried Chicken * A fugitive wanted in eight states * A dog that saves his owner's life * Wildland firefighters battling nature and fire * A ghost haunting a colonial mansion * Hikers who stay lost because they think searchers calling their names are wild animals * Being willing to risk your life to make our parks safe and help preserve them for the future These are just a few experiences you will read about in A Park Ranger's Life. Drawn from the thirty-two-year career of National Park Ranger Bruce W. Bytnar, you will discover what it takes to be a park ranger, what threats to visitors and resources they deal with on a daily basis, and what you can do to help protect and preserve our national heritage.
