Description
From Bear Dens to the Oval Office recounts numerous true stories collected from over 38 years managing America's national Parks. These amusing stories cover wildlife encounters, search and rescue incidents, unusual incidents involving park visitors, visits by many important people and dignitaries including various Secretary s of the Interior, US Senators, President Obama and family, Pope John Paul II, the Emperor and Empress of Japan, and others. Some stories recount actual events related to educational activities (sometimes called "living history" portrayals) at Fort Scott and other parks. Other stories relate to funny visitor experiences including funny questions asked of staff, youth engaging with nature, significant land conservation initiatives, and a trip to Italy to visit Dolomiti National Park, a "sister park" to Acadia. Managing national parks involves protecting the park's natural and historic elements, providing visitor services such as education, orientation, and emergency assistance, enforcement of park regulations and pertinent laws, and administration which includes supervision of employees and volunteers. The book relates various stories that involve all of these subject areas, many of which will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
