My job is to care for the historic resources in the park. I work with different divisions to make sure, as they plan for work, that historic resources are considered, and that when work gets done, it is in a sensitive way that preserves the integrity of the resource.
It's one of those things that you don't really notice. But there are people behind the scenes making sure that the bricks are right, or the culverts work right.You might not notice culverts on the road, but they are part of the historic design, and are essential to the preservation of that road.
Much of it is preservation of things you never think of, like infrastructure, that has to be cared for in order to keep the whole picture in place.
