BLM Junior Rangers ‘Join the Adventure’!

Officially launched in October 2016, the Bureau of Land Management’s Junior Ranger program is the agency's vehicle for engaging young people in recreation, learning, and stewardship, and connecting them to the natural world and their cultural heritage. BLM-managed public lands encompass millions of acres where young people can pursue healthy recreational activities, spend time with friends and family, nurture their curiosity about the natural world, and discover clues to our country's past. We encourage all to learn more, get involved, and reach out to young people, parents, and teachers to promote the BLM Junior Ranger Program. In other words: Inspire others to "Join the Adventure"!

Young people who are immersed early on in learning and recreation on the public lands are our nation's greatest hope for the next generation of conservation stewards and leaders. The Junior Ranger program capitalizes on the amazing work that the BLM is already accomplishing with community and recreation partners to encourage kids and families to spend time exploring and learning outdoors.

Prior to the Junior Ranger launch, the BLM's youth programming included a wide array of programs, many of which were beloved locally, but not always recognized nationally. The Junior Ranger program gathers these disparate youth education and engagement programs into a centrally identifiable, strategically unified ensemble. Merging agency youth engagement efforts creates clear pathways for the next generation to engage with the BLM's mission. Youth are able to participate in Junior Ranger activities on public lands, on the redesigned BLM website, and via social media.

In fall 2016, the inaugural national-level Junior Ranger activity book, My Public Lands Junior Ranger, focused on key messages related to the 40th anniversary of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the BLM's "Organic Act." The publication is available online on the BLM's Junior Ranger web page.

Now, in keeping with the BLM's commitment to improving inclusion of diverse audiences, the publication of Mis Tierras Publicás, Jóvenes Guardaparques Otoño 2016, the Spanish-language edition of the Fall 2016 My Public Lands Junior Ranger book is also available online.
