National Park Rangers historically fulfilled all park functions - everything from building and maintaining structures to law enforcement. The congressional mandate states that the National Park Service is to protect natural, cultural, and historic resources while providing for visitor enjoyment, and that is what rangers try to do. Today, the ranger's job is split into several divisions of park rangers, each focused on a particular aspect of managing the park to protect while providing for visitor enjoyment.
Law Enforcement: Law enforcement rangers are the same as police, just with a different set of laws they work with. They make traffic stops, respond to emergencies, and enforce resource protection laws, for example. They protect the resources (through enforcing the laws) while providing for the enjoyment (by making sure people follow the rules so that everyone can enjoy the park). Law enforcement rangers must have graduated from an approved law enforcement academy prior to doing their job.
Interpretation & Education: Interpretation rangers are the ones that provide visitor assistance in the visitor centers and guided activities and programs throughout the park. They protect resources by fostering understanding and stewardship of the park resources and provide for enjoyment by creating a higher level of meaning and relevance of park resources for visitors.
Backcountry: Backcountry rangers patrol trails and other areas away from roadways; this may be a law enforcement task or not. Backcountry rangers ensure that backcountry camping facilities are being used properly, that trails are properly maintained, and other related duties. Fee Collection: While fee collectors are not technically "rangers" in their job title, they wear the same uniform and for all intents and purposes are "rangers" to the public; their actual job title is "Visitor Use Assistant." These folks are the ones you see first in the entrance booth or campgrounds collecting entrance and camping fees.
