Be A Junior Ranger
 

People of all ages earn a patch while learning to protect resources. Those 5 to 8 years old earn the Jay Award. If you are 9 to 12 years old, work for a Raven Award. Ages 13 to 103 earn a senior patch.

You can purchase a Junior Ranger booklet in any visitor center. Follow the instructions and have fun. When you are done, bring your booklet back to a visitor center in order to receive your award.

Did You Know?
The Sierra Nevada is still growing today. The mountains gain height during earthquakes on the east side of the range. But the mountains are being shortened by erosion almost as quickly as they grow. This erosion has deposited sediments thousands of feet thick on the floor of the San Joaquin Valley.
