For Teachers

Anyone can be a Junior Ranger. Learning is the first step towards helping.

Complete the activities in the Western Arctic Parklands Junior Ranger book and mail the book to the park. Not only will you be able to tell others what you learned about the parks in northwest Alaska, but you can also earn the Junior Ranger badge, saber toothed cat patch, and even a water bottle.
