There will be fun activities like a scavenger hunt, activity sheets, and an interactive demo that shows how watersheds works. There will also be ranger-led nature hikes at 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm. Each park will provide junior ranger booklets that help children learn how to “Explore, Learn, and Protect” their state and national parks.
