Celebrate Junior Ranger Day at Home and in Your Own Backyard




Saturday, April 18th, 2020 is Junior Ranger Day and the first day of National Park Week. Unfortunately, we are under a state home orders due to COVID-19 so this is a different sort of Junior Ranger Day and National Park Week that we will be celebrating from our homes and virtually. In this bonus episode I talk with my two little pink junior rangers about being a junior ranger. #nationalparkweek #findyourpark #FindYourVirtualPark




Discussion includes the following:




  • Why they like being a junior ranger




  • Fun fact about palm trees




  • Fun Fact about roadrunners




  • Fun Fact about Javelinas




  • Responsibilities of a junior ranger




  • Favorite junior ranger activities




  • Promo for upcoming episode on Night Skies with Tyler Nordgren




  • How to celebrate junior ranger day at home




  • Junior Ranger joke




  • Clip from Shenandoah Trip Report from March 2017 of kids talking about astronomy program and volunteering to save monarch butterflies.




  • National Park Creative Exchange collaboration
