How to become a park ranger Australia | Parks Victoria | The Come Up Starter Kit

Ever thought about becoming a ranger?

I head to Gembrook, Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Ranges Districtpark to follow Area Chief Ranger Jack around for a day and where we learn there's more to being a park ranger than meets the eye.

Parks Victoria is helping protect Australia's wildlife and maintaining our natural habitat with Jack the park ranger.

‪@ParksVictoria‬ Australia has more than 500 national parks covering 28 million hectares – almost 4% of the country. Parks Victoria is responsible for managing a diverse estate of more than 4 million hectares including 3,000 land and marine parks and reserves making up 18 per cent of Victoria’s landmass, 75 per cent of Victoria’s wetlands and 70 per cent of Victoria’s coastline.
