Park Ranger Notes

This site serves the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Park Ranger Community of Practice (CoP). Park Rangers are the professional uniformed team members (including but not limited to 0099, 0025, 0028, 0400 job series) who perform, manage, or supervise work in the stewardship of Federal lands, waters, and park resources at Corps operated and maintained water resources projects. (See excerpt from Career Video. Full Video.) Functions include but are not limited to park management; natural, historical, and cultural resource management; watershed management; endangered and/or special status species management; flood risk management; real property and shoreline management; environmental compliance practices; asset management, visitor assistance; safety; infrastructure surveillance and protection; and the development of interpretive and recreational programs for the benefit of the public. Park Rangers are leaders in both emergency response and community outreach. Park Rangers are the Corps face to the nation and may be the only contact the public has with the agency.

This site contains beneficial information for every park ranger, from the new hire to the seasoned veteran, which will help enhance professionalism. Your CoP is supported by a Park Ranger CoP Advisory Board (see charter). This workforce is part of two broader CoPs: Natural Resources Management (NRM) and Operations & Regulatory. You are encouraged to utilize, share and contribute to the NRM Gateway as well as the Operations & Regulatory Gateway - this is your Community of Practice.
