Celebrate Junior Ranger Day at Home and in Your Own Backyard

Saturday, April 18th, 2020 is Junior Ranger Day and the first day of National Park Week. Unfortunately, we are under a state home orders due to COVID-19 so this is a different sort of Junior Ranger Day and National Park Week that we will be celebrating from our homes and virtually. In this bonus episode I talk with my two little pink junior rangers about being a junior ranger. #nationalparkweek #findyourpark #FindYourVirtualPark

Discussion includes the following:

Why they like being a junior ranger

Fun fact about palm trees

Fun Fact about roadrunners

Fun Fact about Javelinas
