Comments

it is not simply a job, far from the sense of lucky, commitment for 6 months or 1 year or permanent career there are a few personal wants that visitors overlook. This (these parks) are our home and family, in a way that trash and bad habits need to be left at the entrance of parks. If you see a person dropping a gum wrapper, spit gum, or just leaves lettuce or bread on the ground, please tell them it is 2019 and humans eho are the only species that litter, need to pick up after themselves always. Create better recreation habits, every bit of a cleaner park can restore animal wild habits.
