National Forest Foundation Junior Field Rangers

The Junior Field Rangers receive STEM-based outdoor education, training as naturalists and California Naturalist Certifications. The youth interact with the public at popular trailheads, picnic areas, and destinations. Visitors learn from the junior field rangers in multiple languages about our sources of water, the reasons to protect our forests and methods to implement sustainable recreation. The youth also bring their new knowledge home to share with their communities. 

*This is a closed course available only to National Forest Foundation participants.
