The National Park Service has launched a search for a new leader at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia after its superintendent retired last month, the agency said Thursday.
Pat Kenney retired Apr. 30, concluding a 34-year career with NPS.
Lewis Rogers, the superintendent at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, will serve as interim superintendent until a permanent replacement is named, the agency said. He took over May 1.
Kenney began working at Shenandoah in 2020. He started his NPS career in 1990 at Big Cypress National Preserve, where he served as a natural resources manager. He also did stints as the planning branch chief at the Denver Service Center, superintendent at Cape Lookout National Seashore and deputy superintendent at Yellowstone National Park.
