Junior Ranger Program 2019
The Carson City Junior Ranger Program educates youth about the environment, fosters a sense of community, and encourages life-long environmental stewardship. Throughout each year's Junior Ranger events, children will fill out their educational Adventure Guides at each program as they learn more about the outdoors.
The Leave No Trace Hike and Wildlife Walk are where all Junior Rangers can explore the outdoors in an immersive and respectful way while learning about important local wildlife. Nature Navigation and Environmental Career Day are for the older explorers, ages 10-13, for learning how to use a compass and what kind of jobs they can seek out in the natural sciences. Please register your child for each respective age group as Adventure Guides are limited. See more details of both free events below:
