This program encourages our younger park guests to get outside while instilling a love for nature and the outdoors. Download and complete these fun guides to teach your budding Naturalist important concepts such as stewardship, leave-no-trace, service and conservation.
The books are divided into two categories, one geared toward elementary learners under 10 years old and the second for our older naturalists over the age of 10.
While your little naturalist is working through this program, be sure to check in with our park team on your family visits for opportunities to complete course work and learn more about the incredible public spaces entrusted in our care.
Coming Soon! We're working with our Park Rangers to craft a really cool Junior Ranger Program.
