Meet Wu Ping Liao who recently started in the new Park Ranger position.
Aired: December 1, 2022
When you think of Park Rangers, you probably have a mental image of a person in uniform, patrolling a national park, checking on tourists and managing wildlife or perhaps even maintenance projects. Park rangers, however, serve a multitude of purposes in a variety of different venues. And while Needham does not have a national park within its borders (yet!), we do now have an official park ranger. Find out about him, and what he hopes to do here in town!
