Join the 2025 Junior Ranger Program in Reno! Explore parks, earn your badge, and promote stewardship. It’s fun for all ages and abilities!
Outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers in Reno will soon have an exciting new way to engage with the city’s natural spaces. The 2025 Junior Ranger Program is set to launch at the end of January, offering residents and visitors of all ages and abilities the chance to deepen their connection with local parks while earning official recognition for their participation.
What sets Reno’s Junior Ranger Program apart
The program represents a significant initiative by the City of Reno to promote environmental education and foster a sense of stewardship among community members. Participants will have the opportunity to explore Reno’s diverse park system while working toward earning their official Junior Ranger Badge.
Unlike traditional ranger programs that often target only children, Reno’s inclusive approach welcomes participants across all age groups and ability levels. This universal design ensures that everyone in the community can participate in educational activities and contribute to park preservation efforts.
Through the program, participants will learn about local ecosystems, wildlife, and the importance of maintaining public spaces. The initiative aims to create a deeper appreciation for Reno’s natural resources while encouraging active involvement in park conservation.
