This need is for areas of the earth within which we stand without our mechanisms that make us immediate masters over our environment...

Paul: The Tall Ranger


This is Paul’s second season as a backcountry ranger with the King Range. From September to May he studies Natural Resource Planning with a concentration in outdoor recreation at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. Paul enjoys working outdoors and living with everything he needs on his back as well as talking and sharing stories with people on the trail. One of his goals for this summer is to increase visitor awareness about proper human waste disposal in the backcountry (On Lost Coast Trail: Bury all human waste in the sand below the high tide line. All other trails: Bury human waste 6-8 inches deep and at least 200 feet (approximately 70 paces) from streams when you are not near the ocean). Be sure to look for Paul when you are out hiking and share a good story with him!
