Chat with a Ranger is appropriate for any grade level! In this program, students learn about First Ladies National Historic Site, the park service, and the ranger themselves as they interact in live time with a uniformed ranger. After an introduction to the National Park Service the ranger will address questions from the classroom. Classrooms can prepare and send questions ahead of time if desired.
First Ladies National Historic Site is one of 420 National Park Service areas. The National Park Service “conserves the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Park Rangers work at national park sites to help protect these areas. There are different kinds of rangers who work at parks in a variety of positions that all work towards preserving and conserving the park. First Ladies National Historic Site preserves and interprets the role and history of First Ladies for the benefit, inspiration and education of the people of the United States.
