To Be a Ranger

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a Park Ranger? 

 

Do you really know what Park Rangers do?

 

Junior Rangers participating in this program will learn through exploration about the duties of a National Park Service Ranger. Each child will take part in some activities introducing them to the different types of positions held by park rangers including interpretation, administration, law enforcement, wild land fire, and maintenance. The Junior Rangers will view a video with some of the over 390 National Parks throughout the United States. Participants will also learn about the history and mission of the National Park Service.

Viaduct in 1885 before the great Johnstown Flood  

Did You Know?
The Conemaugh Viaduct was used by trains even after the Portage Railroad closed. The Johnstown Flood of 1889 washed the original viaduct away, but a replacement was completed within 3 days of the flood.
