Did he offer any credentials as to being a Ranger? And a ranger for who?

They don't want people around Western Springs - historic area.
Stick to bush areas, they don't mind that.
And make sure you use the slit cut method with a cloth. So you leave no trace. Also water your holes at this time of year.
