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 Rangers provide a positive presence in selected parks meeting
            
       park users, monitoring activity, and enforcing park rules such as no
            
       alcohol, noise, etc. Park Rangers...
