Podcasts about park rangers

He might be America's most famous bear – Smokey! Maybe you can picture Smokey Bear right there in his blue jeans and his Park Ranger hat. They used to have commercials like that all the time. He's probably holding a shovel or he's looking straight at you very soberly. And he's saying, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Actually Smokey has been a pretty effective spokesman, especially if we can think of his big line as soon as we think of him. Oh we'll never know how many fires he's prevented, but he's drilled one very important idea into our heads. Take care of your fire; it could do terrible damage. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Fighting Fire When It's Small.” Have you ever noticed the words we use to describe anger? “I'm really hot about this!” “Boy, he's really steamed!” “She just blew her top!” “I was really burned up!” There's this strong smell of smoke here isn't there? And fire - the Bible has a lot to say about the fire of anger and how to control it. Our word for today from the Word of God, James 1:19 for example: “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. For man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” Well, that's interesting that it doesn't bring about anything good, right? A rough translation or paraphrase might be, “You don't do anything right when you're angry.” In fact, isn't it when you're angry that you tend to make your biggest mistakes? Oftentimes you'll also leave the deepest scars. You create some of the biggest regrets, and it's when we're angry that we most often hurt the people we love the most. That's why the Bible says in Colossians 3:8, “You must rid yourselves of all such things as anger and rage.” This isn't just passively saying, “Well, I can't help it. I lose my temper.” It's saying, “Attack this thing! Get rid of it. Take it out like the garbage.” James 1 gives us some hints as to how. We could call these fire fighters for that anger fire inside of you. First of all, it recommends a big ear. That's the first fire fighter. It says, “Be quick to listen, and then you'll be slow to become angry.” If you discipline yourself to listen before you speak, to ask two or three questions before you react you'll be a lot more likely to tame your anger. Bite your tongue until you've heard the whole thing. A lot of “blow ups” come from misunderstanding; that's where we get most of our exercise - jumping to conclusions. Have a big ear. If you're quick to listen you'll be slower to become angry. I think the second fire fighter is the "cool down time out." That's what I call it. It says, “Be slow to speak.” Take a step away before you respond; leave the room if you have to. Step away from the person. Step away from the situation. Take the cool down time out, and come back in and act instead of reacting. And thirdly, here's another fire fighter. I call it the “sundown clock.” The Bible talks about it in Ephesians 4:26. “Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry.” See, anger never stays the same size. It always grows bigger. It will never be smaller than it is right now. So, get rid of it before you go to bed tonight. Deal with it. Get it out. Don't stuff it inside. When you don't act that way, well, Ephesians 4:27 kicks in, “Do not give the Devil a foothold.” Unresolved anger, when you go to bed at night, leaves Satan a wide open spot in your heart. You and I have caused enough emotional forest fires in our lives haven't we? And too many people have gotten burned. It's time we draw actively on the love and the power of Jesus Christ to declare war on that fire inside; to keep that fire small, to extinguish it quickly before we allow it to do any more damage.

Deep woods horror stories have taken over scary-story feeds for a reason: the wilderness is one of the last places where modern people can still feel completely outmatched.In this Thursday Thrills episode, Henrique takes a late-night car ride through supposedly firsthand camping, hiking, park ranger, cave, and backcountry accounts gathered from online folklore threads. These are not presented as verified cases; they are modern campfire stories - the kind people post after something in the woods, on the trail, or outside the tent refuses to leave their mind. From silent strangers at remote campsites to forests that suddenly go dead quiet, mountain lion instincts, bison breathing outside a tent, cave drummers, and Miniwashitu, the Missouri River Monster, this episode explores why wilderness horror remains so powerful.

Park rangers work in some of the most remote places in the country, and over the years, a surprising number of them have shared stories they still can't explain.In this episode, we look at four real accounts from named park rangers. You'll hear from members of the Navajo Rangers' Special Projects Unit, whose investigations included reports of Bigfoot, UFOs, hauntings, and shape-shifters, including one case where coins reportedly fell from nowhere during an investigation. We also cover the story of a backcountry ranger in North Carolina who watched a man hike up a mountain in the middle of the night and silently stare at a campground full of sleeping children until sunrise. Then there's Yellowstone ranger Bob "Action" Jackson, who described seeing a tall, two-legged, fur-covered figure moving through the backcountry, and Galen Clark, America's first park ranger, who claimed he once heard the cries of a drowned child coming from an empty lake in Yosemite.We also take a look at several well-known national park disappearances, including Dennis Martin, Stacy Arras, and Trenny Gibson, along with the Missing 411 phenomenon and the strongest arguments both for and against it. Some of these stories have reasonable explanations. Others are a little harder to dismiss.Everything in this episode is based on real people, documented cases, and firsthand accounts. Whether you think there's something strange happening in the wilderness or not, these are stories that have stuck with the people who experienced them.Get your thick hiking socks ready, we're going off trail.CHAPTERS:0:00 - We're Going Off Trail..1:13 - INTRO 3:40 - The Tangent Disclaimer5:37 - A Vast & Untouched Wilderness6:55 - STORY: THE RANGERS WHO GOT THE OTHER CALLS 12:00 - Don "The Rain Man" Decker 15:12 - INTERMISSION: Christian Is Snarky / Get Off Your Soap Box 16:21 - Creepy Human's Episode on the Horizon?

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 9, 2026, covered a wide range of topics, including public health updates, significant policy changes regarding behavioral health and homelessness, and new regulations for animal keeping. Community and Public Health Presentations The meeting began with an adoptable pet update, featuring a six-month-old dog named Penelope Le Piu from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter. The shelter reported a successful "California Adopt a Pet Day," with 68 pets adopted in a single day. The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District provided its annual presentation, emphasizing the management of West Nile Virus. Manager Gary Goodman highlighted the use of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which involves releasing male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria to reduce the population; this program is expanding to 120 acres in the Rosemont area this year. Additionally, the department promoted Family Health and Fitness Day (the second Saturday in June), which includes activities such as nature walks, yoga, and trail accessibility equipment demonstrations. Public Comment Highlights Wesley Trummel praised the Parks and Recreation commissioners but urged the Board to protect the park system's budget during upcoming deliberations. Darryl Turrell, a Riverside County resident, advocated for an ordinance to curb catalytic converter theft, proposing a "one and you're done" policy to hold thieves accountable. Edrick Brown shared his personal journey of rehabilitation after a 23-year prison sentence and introduced "Public Bridge," a program aimed at "rewiring" youth to prevent them from entering the justice system. Behavioral Health and Homelessness A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan for FY 2026-29. This new plan, mandated by Proposition 1, shifts prevention funding to the state and requires the county to allocate 30% of its BHSA funds to housing interventions. The Board discussed the "sunsetting" of several local programs to meet these new funding requirements, though they committed to a temporary contract with WellSpace to maintain the 988 suicide prevention line until state funding is clarified. The 2026 Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count results sparked intense debate. While the county saw an overall 13% increase in homelessness, the unincorporated area experienced a 130% increase. Board members expressed deep frustration with the "slow pace" of county action and the perceived failure of current strategies. Chair Rodriguez explicitly called for a change in leadership and a forensic audit of homeless spending, stating that the county lacks a clear vision and a sense of urgency. Ordinances and Public Safety Crowing Fowl Ordinance: The Board introduced amendments to regulate roosters in urban and suburban areas. Prompted by over 800 complaints regarding noise and inhumane conditions like tethering, the new rules set maximum limits based on lot size and include a registration process for legitimate hobbyists. Music Festival Agreement: The Board approved a 10-year agreement with Danny Wimmer Presents to keep major music festivals like Aftershock and Golden Sky at Discovery Park. Tourism and hotel representatives testified that these events generate millions in economic impact and significant hotel tax revenue. Military Equipment (AB 481): The Sheriff's Office, District Attorney, Probation, and Park Rangers presented their annual military equipment reports. The Sheriff's Office requested authorization to eventually replace its 2008 Bearcat armored vehicle, which has reached the end of its 20-year lifespan. Public Meeting Disruptions: In compliance with SB 707, the Board adopted new procedures for handling service disruptions during remote public participation, including a mandatory one-hour minimum recess if the telephonic or audio-visual systems fail. Administrative and Closing Matters The Board approved several consent items, including a $10 million amendment for architectural services at the Sacramento International Airport due to unforeseen underground conditions and FAA line-of-sight issues. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the county's illegal fireworks campaign, featuring increased fees and a 311 reporting system, and an adjournment in honor of Joaquin Razzo, a dedicated community volunteer and singer.

Do you have a lingering desire to start a wildlife career, but feel like it might be too late for you? Or maybe you're working on a wildlife career, but it isn't working for you, and time just keeps passing by? You got the degree, but then life got in the way, and you even had to get a non-wildlife job to pay the bills…Well, I'm here to tell you that whether you're 25, 45, or older, a wildlife career IS still possible for you (and yes, I get by 25-year-olds who think they are too late), and this week's Fancy Scientist podcast episode really proves it! I interviewed Yellowstone Park Ranger Lynda Moore about her journey from radiologist to environmental educator and what it's really like to work in one of the most famous protected areas. Lynda first spent 28 years working in healthcare before deciding to return to school in 2017. She graduated with her degree in wildlife conservation biology in 2021, just two weeks before her 58th birthday! Now, she is working in one of the most coveted locations in the world for wildlife job seekers: Yellowstone National Park.Through our conversation, you'll learn how Linda navigated the challenges of being a non-traditional student and successfully landed a position with the National Park Service. She didn't let age hold her back or fears about ageism in the workplace. In fact, she embraced her past experiences and used them to her advantage, leveraging her work as a radiologist to her new career while focusing on new strategies to land her a park service job. You'll learn that Lynda emphasized networking and learning from others, building relationships with professors and graduate students while getting her degree. She shares how she willingly raised her hand for new opportunities, including counting bee behaviors in a lab and driving across the country for internships.You'll also get an insider's perspective on the fascinating, and sometimes dangerous, reality of working in America's first National Park. Lynda discusses her role as an interpretive ranger, educating the public on everything from the park's unique thermal geology to the "Big Five" wildlife species in the United States. She shares eye-opening stories about "babysitting" a 2,000-pound bison and the constant struggle to keep tourists at a safe distance from unpredictable wild animals.I also asked Lynda about the technical side of landing a federal job. She credits her success to having a mentor help her navigate the notoriously difficult federal resume process. You'll learn about the new federal resume requirements and how she transitioned from the "healthcare brain" to the "biologist brain," and how she carried over the work ethic and supervisory skills from her previous career that made her a standout candidate.After the interview, I break down the take-home points that you can apply to your own journey, regardless of your age. I explain how previous "unrelated" career experience can actually contain a variety of transferable skills for wildlife jobs, how to network with people who are decades younger (or older) than you, and how seeking outside help from professionals can help you navigate something like the frustration of the federal application system.If you've ever told yourself you're "too old," that "it's too late," or that "employers won't hire someone my age," Linda is living proof that the National Park Service, and the wildlife field at large, needs your experience and your passion!

What does it mean for community members to have access to foods from their culture? What is it like to take care of an urban forest and hit the trail for your day at the office? How can fitness prioritize strength and community building over weight loss?   Once again, we’ve got questions about all the interesting jobs Pacific Northwesterners have, and so do you. So we’re back with the latest installments of our ‘At Work With’ series, where interview people from different lines of work about what it’s like to do what they do. This time, we meet a worker at a market-style food pantry specializing in Latino cultural foods, a park ranger at Oregon’s Tryon Creek State Natural Area, and a coach focused on making fitness more welcoming and inclusive for everyone.   We’re always open to new ideas for jobs — or volunteer positions — that we can learn about next!

Betty Reid Soskin was a civil rights pioneer, musician, and the nation's oldest park ranger when, at the age of 100, she retired from Richmond's Rosie the Riveter museum where she was dedicated to keeping experiences of Black Americans and women in the forefront of the historical narrative. She worked in the segregated homefront during World War II, was among the first Black families to integrate Walnut Creek, and she ran one of the first Black-owned record stores in the Bay Area. She died in December at 104 years old and as part of our Bay Area Legends series, we'll listen back to Forum's interviews with Soskin over the years and talk with those who loved her and worked with her. Guests: Bob Reid, musician activist and Betty Reid Soskin's son Kelli English, program manager, National Park Service, was Betty Reid Soskin's supervisor at the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park Learn more about your ad choices.
