The system maintains careful stewardship of North Carolina's diverse natural resources with a corps of dedicated, professional rangers trained in law enforcement, environmental education, natural resource protection, search-and-rescue techniques, wildfire suppression and medical first response. Their efforts are supported by maintenance mechanics, park office personnel and an administrative team that includes natural resource, planning, trails, exhibits, construction and land protection specialists.
