Lancaster County Park Rangers

It’s that time of year!

If you find a fawn, the best action in almost all cases is to leave it alone. Mother deer intentionally hide their babies for hours while they forage to avoid drawing predators. It is completely normal for a fawn to be sitting perfectly still, and the mother is likely nearby.

If you see a fawn in danger or distress you should call a licensed wildlife rehabilitation expert for guidance or the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Last night Park Rangers, Dispatchers and Police were recognized for their involvement in an incident involving an armed and suicidal subject.

We would like to thank the West Hempfield Township Police Department and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners, Josh Parsons, Alice Yoder, and Ray D'Agostino for recognizing their efforts.

Ranger Fliegel, Ranger Kelso and Chief Arnold were honored to stand beside our colleagues to accept this recognition. We would also like to thank our public safety partners who could not attend for helping us keep the parks safe.
