Behind the Scenery – Special Edition
Typically each Park Connect newsletter showcases an employee with an interesting or unique job in the park system, and features their background and favorite spots so readers can better know our staff, and our parks and historic sites.
This issue, instead of singling out an individual, we are taking this opportunity to give a shout-out to all the state park employees who have worked so tirelessly this spring and summer to provide safe and enjoyable settings for visitors during this challenging time.
Whether lifeguarding at beaches and pools, volunteering to drive supplies, helping staff testing sites, cleaning and sanitizing park facilities, serving as social distancing ambassadors, welcoming campers, safeguarding our waterways, maintaining the golf courses, developing virtual nature education, and many other responsibilities, our park staff understands that the outdoors has taken on special significance for families this season, serving as a sanctuary and special place to spend time with loved ones.
Here are some highlights of their hard work. Photo Gallery
