All graduates successfully passed their oral examination in the Mittersill National Park Administration and are now certified Austrian National Park Ranger. This intensive training included a total of 32 training days and numerous practical units, in which the prospective rangers not only learned the necessary specialist knowledge about the flora and fauna of the park, but also didactic skills to pass on their knowledge in an exciting way, such as meinbezirk.at reported .

diverse tasks in ranger activity

The new rangers will work in different positions, with seven of them already active in the national park during their training. The tasks of a ranger include not only the parliamentary point of view and the implementation of guided tours, but also the support of school programs and the participation in numerous projects. The examination committee, consisting of leading members of the national park administration, praised the enthusiasm and commitment of the graduates. Those responsible wish the new rangers every success and many impressive experiences at working in the national park.

The National Park Academy, which has been acting as a joint education center of the federal states of Carinthia, Salzburg and Tyrol since 1997, plays a central role in training future rangers. In addition to basic training, the academy also offers in -depth courses that broaden the knowledge of wild animals, biodiversity and other important topics. These educational offers are designed to inspire and motivate the participants, which underlines the importance of the academy, such as Hohtauern.at reported .
