Volunteer Rangers Man Smokies
Volunteers can play park ranger Monday in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
High school students, recent graduates and their families can spend time in the field with a park ranger conducting scientific projects such as salamander monitoring, tree identification and mapping and water quality assessments.
A news release from the park says these hands-on projects provide participants with a specialized field experience that will help park researchers do vital studies.
Similar volunteer days for high school students will be July 8 and July 23.
