Field Rangers Program

educational campaign for The National Forest Foundation
_____________
A program to introduce and integrate young adults from underrepresented backgrounds to environmental careers.
Creating educational and information assets about the development and inter-agency partnership.
The Field Ranger program was established on the Angeles National Forest (ANF) following the designation of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument (SGMNM) in 2014.
The intent of the Field Ranger program was to provide increased visitor services in high-use recreation areas of the SGMNM and ANF by employing diverse candidates via partnership service-learning programs that created training opportunities for aspiring environmental professionals.
After a 5-year hiatus, the Field Ranger Program returned in the summer of 2023! Starting off strong with three Hispanic individuals, the program restarted in June 2023 thanks to partners coming together from the Angeles National Forest, National Forest Foundation, Hispanic Access Foundation, Los Angeles County Regional Park Open Space and Park District, and REI.
