Career Day

What is it like being a park ranger? Join the Protectors of Tule Springs and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument in exploring a career in the outdoors. There are many ways to be a park ranger and work in National Park places: you can be an interpreter, law enforcement, carpenter, wildlife biologist, field botanist, paleontologist, and more! This program is designed to work with school or grade-wide Career Day programs. Pending availability, we also have a mobile trailer that can be brought to outdoor Career Day events.
