Listen now:

[Wilderness Ranger Cabin] This wild places program is part one of an exploration on how the job of wilderness rangers is changing. Many people who worked for parks and forests when the Wilderness Act went in effect are still working.

We start out by getting a look at the traditional skills and duties of a wilderness ranger. We hear from:

Gregg Fauth, Wilderness Coordinator for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
Laurel Boyers, Wilderness manager for Yosemite National Park.
John Roth, Chief Ranger for Lassen Volcanic National Park.
Brian Palmentier and Michelle Minnehan, experienced hikers and climbers from San Francisco, visiting the Tuolumne Meadows Wilderness Office in Yosemite.

Next week, in part two, we find out about the changes in government, in environmental threats, and in the wilderness users are affecting the job of wilderness rangers.

What do you expect from wilderness rangers? You can share your opinions with your fellow listeners anytime using our toll free comment line at 866-590-7373.
