As the head park ranger at Lake Roland, Jonathan Wood’s office is more than 500 acres of trails, water and woods that are home to deer, coyotes, beavers, otters and a bevy of birds. The park, which is operated by Baltimore County, attracts more than 300,000 people a year. They come to fish, hike, canoe, kayak or simply picnic. “You’ve got diversity of history, nature and recreation here,” says Wood ’11. “You get a diverse population of people who come here as well, which is awesome.”
