Invite a Ranger into your Classroom!
The parks are piloting a new free program called "Rangers in the Classroom" in Tulare County's elementary schools. This educational outreach program is made possible with the fundraising support of partners such as the Sequoia Parks Foundation. The plan is to bring park rangers into the classroom and present curriculum and standards based programs that will...

  • Introduce students to the great outdoors, the natural, and cultural resources of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
  • Teach students how to be environmental stewards in their community.
  • And how taking care of the environment in their own community will also benefit the parks’ resources.

For more information or to schedule a visit call: 1-559-565-3733.


The success of this project is also possible with the support of our local education partners: the Sequoia Natural History Association, Sequoia Riverland Trust, and the Tulare County Office of Education. Together we are educating the future stewards of the Great Central Valley and the national parks. 

Other Guest Speakers
Those interested in guest speakers from the park staff should contact the park's Public Affairs Specialist at 559-565-3131.

Did You Know?
Picnic areas are a major source of problem bears. Bears quickly lose their fear of humans when allowed access to our food. They wind up dead, hit by cars or shot because they threaten people. Store all food immediately on arrival, stay close to food at tables, and put all trash in bearproof cans!
