Park Naturalists

In Nevada State Parks, we have many different responsibilities and most days are never the same. In day to day operations, we manage campgrounds, provide visitor services to provide the special "Park Experience" our visitors are looking for, we manage visitor centers, build and maintain trails, maintain facilities, provide safety and security for our visitors, maintain and develop landscapes, protect cultural and natural resources, and interpret all aspects of park resources.

I wear many hats but my main job is to head our environmental education program. I run field trips for students and organize park events. I'm also in charge of our interpretive museum and various education displays around the park. In a typical day I'll work in our entry station booth or Visitor Center. I'll do trail work, lead guided hikes, and do park maintenance. Other days I'll write lesson plans, design displays, update the park's social media, or film educational videos.
