Rangers Honored

Grand Teton National Park’s Jenny Lake Rangers and the Teton Interagency Helitack Team were recently awarded the 2020 National Park Service “Tom Clausing All-Risk Program Award.” This national award recognizes work and interaction with others while rendering all-risk services, promoting innovation and professionalism and advancing aviation all-risk programs.
National Park Service rangers Scott Guenther and Case Martin, Forest Service interagency helitack team members Mike Bentley and Travis Nichols, and pilot Zaron Welch were recognized for their risk-management leadership and actions during incidents this past year with the COVID-19 pandemic.
As quoted in the award recognition, “these individuals displayed excellent professionalism and risk-management decision making while rendering aid: ensuring both patients and crew were protected from the virus.”
