The Junior Ranger program is a way to explore national parks. Participants can learn about nature sounds, night skies or even the Transcontinental Railroad. Participants also can discover why national parks matter and how to join the team that helps keep parks healthy. To participate in Bandelier’s on-site program, the prospective Junior Ranger picks up a workbook at the Visitor Center and fills in the questions while visiting the park. Upon returning to the Visitor Center, a ranger will go over the work with the candidate. Successful candidates receive a Bandelier Junior Ranger wooden badge.
