Get out side and explore with a ranger or your family. See nature at work in your national parks.
 

Become a Junior Ranger while exploring three of the South Florida's National Parks (Big Cypress National Preserve, Biscayne National Park, and Everglades National Park). Kids can pick up a free booklet at any park visitor center. Complete the required activities at each park to earn an official Junior Ranger badge.

Junior Rangers who complete the entire book can earn all three badges, plus a South Florida's National Parks patch.

For a sneak peak, you can download the books in either English, Spanish or Haitian Creole. Just follow the links below! (Please be advised that these files are large and may take a few minutes to download.)

Did You Know?
The purple galinule though one of the most colorful birds in Big Cypress, is often well camouflaged. Look carefully along canal edges and gator holes for this beutiful bird. Many of the surrounding colors blend well with the birds feathers.
