The government career info session, held on Thurs., Apr. 12th, was conceived as part of Congressman Rangel's ongoing efforts to put constituents back to work.

"The federal government hires people in many different fields, from accounting to public affairs, health care to law enforcement, and everything in between. For so many, however, the steps to getting a federal job seem numerous and difficult," said Congressman Rangel. "I am pleased that many of my constituents participated in this unique opportunity to gain insight and explore many different paths to careers in the federal government."

Para los forasteros, Manhattan, el corazón de la ciudad de Nueva York, es mundialmente conocido como el emocionante hogar del teatro, la moda y los museos; pero aquellos viviendo en Inwood y Washington Heights saben que los parques locales rivalizan con esas atracciones.

Sin embargo, a lo mejor ellos no conocen todos los secretos del Parque Inwood.

Hay salamandras, zorrillos, gran variedad de aves acuáticas desde patos silvestres hasta garzas. Es increíble que exista tanta vida y vida silvestre en Manhattan", dijo la Sargento Sunny Corrao, Guardabosques de Parque Urbano en la ciudad de Nueva York estacionado en el Centro Natural del Parque Inwood Hill.

"Mi parte favorita del trabajo es salir afuera y patrullar – caminar el parque, guiar a través de ciertas áreas asegurándome que el parque esté seguro", añadió la Sargento Corrao.

Además de sus habitantes naturales, el pantano y el bosque algunas veces son hogar de animales como los coyotes, pasando a través, y de animales abandonados. El mantener el parque seguro a menudo significa rescatar animales y transferir los animales a un rehabilitador de vida silvestre licenciado.
