The Park Ranger/Game Warden Career

             The park ranger's job is a complex one, involving many possible
             tasks. The following is a complete description of the job:
             "Park rangers are charged with protecting our parks and wildlife. They
             often work in rural and wilderness settings but can be found in city
             parks, historical sites, nature preserves and recreation areas. Park
             rangers offer a wealth of knowledge to visitors: They prepare exhibits
             and informational material about the park, develop conservation
             programs, and lead tours and nature walks. Rangers are also involved
             in conserving the lands they oversee, including studying wildlife
             behavior and monitoring air and water quality to determine if the
             ecosystem is in working order. In larger parks, rangers may search for
             lost hikers, rescue stranded mountain climbers, supervise fire-
             fighting crews and tend to injured park guests. Rangers are also
             responsible for enforcing park regulations" (Lycos).
             The game warden, also known as a wildlife officer, has a job quite similar
             to the park ranger. The major difference is that the game warden is more
             focused on protecting wildlife and the environment, with this increasing
             the conservation and law enforcement aspects of the job. However, the game
             warden's job often extends at least partially to the tasks covered in the
             park ranger description above. Due to the similarities both in the job and
             in what is required to do the job, they will both be looked at as one, with
             all information provided on the park ranger job applying equally to the
             Portland Parks and Recreation offers seasonal park ranger positions
             and describes the duties of the position as follows:

             park users, monitoring activity, and enforcing park rules such as no
             alcohol, noise, etc. Park Rangers...
