Park Ranger or Forest Ranger   July 5th, 2010

Park ranger In North America rangers served in the 17th and 18th-century wars between colonists and Native American Indian tribes. Rangers were full-time soldiers employed by colonial governments to patrol between fixed frontier fortifications in reconnaissance providing early warning of raids. In offensive operations, they were scouts and guides, locating villages and other targets for task forces drawn from the militia or other colonial troops. During the revolutionary war, General George Washington ordered Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Knowlton to select an elite group of men for reconnaissance missions. This unit was known as Knowlton’s Rangers, and was the first official Ranger unit for the United States, and are considered the historical parent of the modern day Army Rangers.

Park ranger or Forest ranger is a person entrusted with protecting and preserving parklands – national, state or provincial parks. Different countries use different names for the position. Ranger is the favored term in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Within the United States, the National Park Service refers to the position as a Park Ranger. The US Forest Service refers to the position as a Forest Ranger. Other countries use the term park warden or game warden to describe this occupation. The profession has often been characterized as “protecting the people from the resource, and the resource from the people.”[citation needed] The profession includes a number of disciplines and specializations, and park rangers are often required to be proficient in more than one. park ranger
