We’re excited to introduce our new Absaroka District Interpretive Ranger, Mary! She has officially started on-site at Keyhole, and she will be taking over all social media, programming, and outreach from Ranger Katie. She will be a great addition to our district!

Last week, our Interpretive Team met in Lander!

We now have all four of our full-time District Interpretive Ranger positions filled. What do interpreters do? We connect visitors to our natural and cultural sites through meaningful and impactful communication.

☀️Left Middle: Angelina, Shoshone District (SW)
☀️Right Middle: Carlo, Laramie District (SE)
☀️Right: Mary, Absaroka District (NE)

You’ll be seeing our friendly faces statewide, and we all have an awesome year of programs and events ahead of us. We can’t wait to meet you if we haven’t already!

Exciting news! 👏

Have you noticed the construction happening at Park Headquarters? We’ve been building a dormitory! 🏠

This dormitory will be used to house non-local seasonal staff. Like many remote sites in Wyoming, it is often difficult for us to fill our crew. Now, this dorm will help us resolve that issue! Once complete, it will be fully-furnished with six single rooms.

If you’ve been wanting to come work with us, now is your time! The dorm will be ready for this upcoming summer season and offered at no cost to employees.

Apply today to work in Fee Collection or Maintenance (wyoparks.info/keyholejobs), or to be an Interpretive Ranger (wyoparks.info/interprangers)!
