park warden
Nature reserve supervisor
A park warden is an official responsible for managing and protecting a park, its wildlife, and its visitors.
The role combines conservation duties—monitoring ecosystems, enforcing regulations against poaching or vandalism—with public service tasks like assisting visitors and maintaining facilities.
In North America, the term ranger is more common, while warden prevails in British and Commonwealth usage.
The park warden cited campers for leaving food out overnight.
