Explore the redwood forest, slippery tidepools, vast open prairies, and more! Redwood National and State Parks has a junior ranger newspaper with activities designed for children 7-12 years old. But remember, any age can participate! You can earn a patch OR a sticker. To earn a patch, 10-12 years olds complete six activity pages and 7-9 year olds complete four activity pages (two must be "in-park" activities marked by a star); in addition, each young adult will collect a bag of litter, attend a ranger program or hike a trail, write down one park rule, and understand and sign the Junior Ranger Pledge. To earn a sticker, each potential junior ranger must complete three activities, collect a bag of litter, write down one park rule, and understand and sign the Junior Ranger Pledge. Pick an activity newspaper up at one of our five visitor centers. Be a Redwood Junior Ranger at any age!
