Women's Month 2021

Women’s Month celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women – challenging biases and misconceptions to create a more inclusive, gender-equal world.


As such, throughout the month of March, we will be celebrating women who work, and have worked, with our department – from the first female park ranger to the first female director, and all of the interesting jobs in between. The parks and recreation industry is changing, and more women than ever before are seeking careers with departments just like ours.

We hope you will visit us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to learn about what they do, how they got there, and what advice they have for next-generation park ambassadors.

Below are some of the stellar women who work for our team.
