U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District celebrates World Ranger Day July 31
TULSA, Okla. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District will recognize World Ranger Day July 31. This annual worldwide celebration commemorates rangers killed or injured in the line of duty and highlights our rangers’ vital roles in environmental stewardship, public safety and managing some of the nation’s premier water-based recreation areas.
Tulsa District park rangers play crucial roles in safeguarding the environment, ensuring visitor safety and promoting conservation efforts at USACE-managed recreation areas, including Tenkiller Lake, Skiatook Lake and Lake Texoma.
“Our rangers do much more than manage campgrounds and recreation areas,” said Col. Jessica Goffena, commander, Tulsa District, USACE. “They protect public lands, water, wildlife and cultural resources, promote water safety; and work closely with visitors, volunteers, partners and local communities.”
To highlight the park ranger experience, USACE presents a series of videos showcasing the important role its natural resources professionals play in environmental stewardship, recreation and visitor assistance. You can view the videos at:
