One of the favorite activities for visitors to Little River Canyon National Preserve is to become a Junior Ranger!


The Junior Ranger program is an activity-based program, focusing on young visitors ages 5-13 (although children of all ages can complete the Junior Ranger book). The program invites youth to join the National Park Service family by giving childen the opportunity to explore and learn about their parks, and learn how they can help protect them today and into the future.

Junior Ranger is an honor earned through completing a Junior Ranger book or attending a Junior Ranger program. Those who complete the book are awarded the coveted Little River Canyon National Preserve Junior Ranger badge, while those who attend a Junior Ranger program are awarded the Junior Ranger patch.

Sometimes, families want to prepare their future Junior Rangers for a trip to a park by having them complete a Junior Ranger book prior to their visit. There are other times when people can't visit all the parks they'd like to, but still want to learn about them. For those people, the Junior Ranger books are available here - print them out, complete the booklet (feel free to adapt certain activities to areas around your own hometown, exhibiting , and mail (or take a picture of the completed pages and email) them back to us here at Little River Canyon.

You can find the Junior Ranger books at the Little River Canyon Center and at the bottom of this page.
