Junior Ranger Program
Welcome, Junior Rangers!
Get ready to discover some of the fascinating and fun things about your Washoe County Regional Parks, Trails, and Open Space! Park Rangers are the individuals who make sure that your parks are preserved and protected. Junior Rangers can help! Together with an adult or friend, you can become a Junior Ranger!
Becoming a Junior Ranger is easy and extremely fun!
All you have to do is:
Join a Washoe County Park Ranger on at least one Park Ranger-led activity or volunteer event and receive a swearing-in following the program, OR
