Junior Ranger Program

Join Diego the Dolphin, Peter the Panther and Aleesha the Alligator in an exploration of three of the South Florida National Parks (Big Cypress National Preserve, Biscayne National Park, and Everglades National Park). Pick up a booklet at any park visitor center for this jointly-administered Junior Ranger program. During your visit to each park, complete the required activities to earn a Junior Ranger badge. Complete the entire book and earn three badges, plus a South Florida's National Parks patch.

While becoming a junior ranger, you can learn more about three of South Florida's four National Parks, their different habitats and why each park is a unique and special place.
