Meeting Location: Highland Park, Mt. Bigelow. Use nearest Residential Address: 2003 Reservoir Drive

Meet your Ranger: Ranger Sam Has been a Pittsburgh City Park Ranger since 2019. She has a passion for nature and animals, so this was an easy fit for her. One of her favorite things to do as a Park Ranger is to do programming with kids and petting all the dogs being walked in the park!
