Today, right in the heart of Yosemite National Park, we awarded Park Ranger Shelton Johnson with the 2022 #AmericanParkExperienceAward. Shelton’s National Park Service family and kids from the Yosemite Valley School gathered to honor Shelton, along with a surprise appearance by Bob Stanton, former Director of the National Park Service. Shelton is being recognized for his lifelong efforts advocating for diversity in national parks and ensuring that our parks are for everyone. Check out this congratulatory video featuring Ken Burns, Sally Jewell, and others as they share how Shelton’s work has made a lasting difference in the national parks movement.
