He was incredibly helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. Even though this was 50 years ago, I still remember him very well. He taught me so much.

Thanks for all that you do in your role as a NPS Ranger, but most of all for being an excellent volunteer coordinator! Your devoted efforts to keep park volunteers informed and appreciated does not go unnoticed. Thank you soooo much. YOU are appreciated!

ALL of you are among the very best of all of us. You represent the values, ethics, and concerns of the entire idea of the United States of America. If I were a few decades younger, I'd choose a degree in something that helps preserve and conserve the fragile and beautiful environment of our lucky nation/continent. As it is, I'm relying on YOU to continue your underpaid, overwhelming, overworked missions! Thank you.

To the entire staff at Fort McHenry - Thank You! For the cheerful and professional response during tours and visits on the many occasions over the years. I look forward to every visit and have always been impressed. This is a great crew!

No matter which national park we've visited, we have found the rangers informative and eager to share their knowledge. The programs are interesting, informative, and usually great fun for the kids. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work making the parks a wonderful place to be. Our most recent conversation with a ranger was in the Great Smoky Mountains NP. We asked about some hiking trails to see wild flowers. When the ranger looked at our marked up map, he pointed out that a couple of the hikes we planned to do were in areas under construction and closed.

Thank you so much for keeping Fort McHenry and Hampton Mansion safe and as open as possible. The pandemic has put so much pressure and you have handled it well, especially during visits from elected officials!

Love this National Park. Thanks for keeping the history going strong.

Thank you for sharing the history of the parks, the natural formations, the wildlife, the flowers and trees, and the love of this beautiful country! We love all our national parks and hope to visit as many as possible.

Jen went all out to provide creative, engaging and empowering experiences for my high school students, not just on field trips but through curriculum enhancements and helping a group of high school history buffs start an after school club. In all kinds of weather, weekend after weekend, she worked with the students to develop their skills as well as fostering a sense of belonging and ownership in our national parks. She taught me so much about being an impactful educator along the way. She is as much of a treasure as the parks themselves!

I visited Yellowstone for the first time this summer. I was in charge of several protected areas in central Africa during my career, so I can really appreciate the work the team has done in Yellowstone. Impressive. So simply my appreciation for a job well done.
