In the Park!

When you earn your Junior Ranger badge or certificate, you'll learn what park rangers do to help protect nature—plants, animals, birds, land—and how we work with different communities and cultures to understand and remember our history. As a Junior Ranger, you'll care for our national parks, teach others what you learn, and discover new ways to experience your environment.

Online Park Fun

Our interactive games introduce you to Golden Gate National Parks and the environmental challenges park rangers tackle. You can have fun while you learn about the wildlife we protect; the ecosystems we restore; and the NPS mission we fulfill. See what actions you would take to save the Mission blue butterfly, track a coyote, or protect an important sand dune.
