A great way to get families involved is through our Junior Ranger Program, which features the Junior Ranger Journal and the Explorer Pack. These free, hands-on journals encourage kids to explore nature through drawing, writing, and observation.

Once they complete a journal, kids earn their very own Junior Ranger badge!

Best of all, the Junior Ranger Program is TEKS-aligned, making it a perfect blend of fun and educational value for the classroom or at home.
