State Park Jobs and Career Opportunities – Florida
Name: Jeff Hugo Position: Park Ranger at Wakulla Springs State Park in Wakulla, Florida. How long have you been with the Florida Park Service and in what capacity? I began my work as a park ranger at Wakulla Springs State Park in September of 2006. I was hired as a Park Services Specialist. A Park Services Specialist is given additional responsibilities to facilitate creative implementation of each park’s resource management and visitor services mission. My area of focus is the coordination of special events at the park. How did you become involved in working as a park ranger? My wife and I decided to pull up stakes and leave the urbanized canyons of South Florida for the towering forests, spring-fed rivers, and general natural beauty of Wakulla County. The only downside to our choice was the fact that I would need to leave a career that I dearly loved.
