Be A Junior Ranger
 
Junior Ranger Program

Weaving Cultures: A Junior Ranger Program is for children between the ages of 8 and 13. However, visitors of all ages are invited to participate. Junior Rangers get a workbook on the past and present Chumash living in the Santa Monica Mountains. After completing three sections of the book, they are awarded a Junior Ranger sew-on patch.

Junior Rangers who want to continue in the program can add three more levels to their patch by earning Ocean, Valley, and Mountain Junior Ranger pins. Junior Rangers earn their pins by going to programs listed in the Outdoors Calendar of Events. After earning all three pins, the Junior Ranger becomes a Mountain Junior Ranger. Mountain Junior Rangers will be invited to programs especially designed for them.

A community project led by the National Park Service has restored Zuma Lagoon.  

Did You Know?
Many hands spanning different generations and agencies continue to turn back the clock on damage to the fragile environment at Zuma Lagoon. After the removal of debris and the restoration of native plants, beach visitors now find a living wetland with 108 species of birds and colorful wildflowers.
