00:09.970 --> 00:12.192
My name is Joshua Springer . I'm a park

00:12.192 --> 00:14.303
ranger here at beautiful Lake Eufaula

00:14.303 --> 00:16.248
Oklahoma . I'm the major out grant

00:16.248 --> 00:15.699
coordinator here . So that involves

00:15.710 --> 00:17.600
working with our marinas and city

00:17.610 --> 00:19.729
leases . I'm also a water safety

00:19.739 --> 00:21.739
coordinator which involves going to

00:21.739 --> 00:23.739
schools and teaching kids about the

00:23.739 --> 00:23.280
importance of wearing their life

00:23.290 --> 00:25.389
jackets . I also maintain our

00:25.399 --> 00:27.770
lifejacket loner station boards . Uh in

00:27.780 --> 00:29.669
order for boaters who need a life

00:29.669 --> 00:31.836
jacket , they could take one and bring

00:31.836 --> 00:34.058
it back at the end of the day . So that

00:34.058 --> 00:33.869
way everybody's safe out on the lake .

00:33.880 --> 00:36.047
So my favorite memory here at you Fall

00:36.047 --> 00:37.880
Lake is doing our annual g creek

00:37.880 --> 00:39.658
fishing fling involves a lot of

00:39.658 --> 00:41.880
students from nearby schools coming out

00:41.880 --> 00:44.102
and for some of them , their first time

00:44.102 --> 00:46.269
going out fishing . I love seeing them

00:46.269 --> 00:45.900
catch the first fish and the smiles on

00:45.909 --> 00:47.909
their face that it brings . Being a

00:47.909 --> 00:49.909
park ranger here is important to me

00:49.909 --> 00:51.853
because it allows me to go out and

00:51.853 --> 00:54.020
teach our younger generation about our

00:54.020 --> 00:56.242
natural resources and the importance of

00:56.242 --> 00:55.439
being safe out in the water .
