Chris Stein has been a park ranger with the US National Park Service for the past forty years. He has worked in all regions of the USA helping manage national parks. His career has taken him from the urban jungles of New York City to the rainforests of American Samoa, where he spent four years managing a rainforest and coral reef national park on three tropical volcanic islands in the South Pacific....his favorite assignment so far! He also loves international work and feels very fortunate to have been able to provide park assistance to China, Chile, Costa Rica, Germany, Nigeria, and Tanzania. Today he works with "large, lived-in landscapes" called National Heritage Areas and has a passion for protecting "the little things that run the world" -- our pollinators. Chris program today is called Operation Pollination - a Rotary ESRAG project.
