Today more than ever Park Rangers are advocates for our wild lands. Park Rangers work in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Much of their work is outdoors, but often they work in offices, especially as they advance to managerial responsibility. During their careers, most Rangers can expect to work in different parts of the state. Park Rangers also work for the U.S. National Park Service, and in the state and county park systems of other states, including Alaska.
Rangers work in the national parks of the Russian Federation as well.
