National Park Service

National Park Service Mission

Most people know that the National Park Service cares for national parks, a network of nearly 400 natural, cultural and recreational sites across the nation. The treasures in this system – the first of its kind in the world – have been set aside by the American people to preserve, protect, and share, the legacies of this land.

NPS Honor Guard.People from all around the world visit national parks to experience America's story, marvel at the natural wonders, and have fun. Places like the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, and Gettysburg are popular destinations, but so too are the hundreds of lesser known yet equally meaningful gems like Rosie the Riveter in California, Boston Harbor Islands in Massachusetts, and Russell Cave in Alabama.

Park Ranger on patrol.To care for our national park treasures, we need people, like you, to keep our parks and visitors safe through law enforcement and emergency services programs at national parks throughout the country. With their classic campaign hats and distinctive uniforms, National Park Service Park Rangers are some of the most recognized law enforcement officers in the world. With responsibility for protecting over 84 million acres of federal land throughout the U.S., our law enforcement Park Rangers work in a variety of unique American settings, from large cities to wild places. We have over 1500 permanent Park Rangers and another 500 summer seasonal Park Rangers. What about you? You could join our team!
