The employees of the National Park Service care for the special places that are the heritage of all Americans.  Since its inception in 1916, the National Park Service has been dedicated to the preservation and management of this country's outstanding natural, historical, and recreational resources.  

This position serves as a Supervisory Park Ranger (Interpretation) in the Division of Interpretation and Education at the Natchez Trace Parkway.   The incumbent reports to the park’s Chief of Interpretation and will be responsible for planning, management and coordination of interpretive, educational and visitor center operations parkwide. The incumbent will be relied on to provide strategic planning and operational information to the Chief of Interpretation and the management staff.   Natchez Trace Parkway interpretive staff manages four visitor centers spread out over 444 miles.  Park resources are complex, and include the potential for a wide range of natural and cultural history interpretation.  Parkway staff also administers the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site and Tupelo National Battlefield and work with two National Heritage Areas. Wayside, exhibit and other non-personal services work is ongoing to improve the overall visitor experience.  In addition to over 6 million recreational visitors, the Natchez Trace Parkway is adjacent to over 2 million residents in multiple communities along the length of the park and has many formal and informal partners. While the Parkway experiences peak tourism seasons in spring and fall, interpretive work with park partners, schools and other organizations continues throughout the year.
