My Project

The Junior Wave Ranger Club offers students an exciting opportunity to explore the plant and animal life thriving on our campus. As members of the club, students will engage in hands-on activities like nature walks, wildlife observation, and plant identification, inspired by the Junior Ranger program of the National Park Service.

The project will involve the use of binoculars, field guides, and tracking resources, allowing students to observe wildlife closely and deepen their understanding of the natural world through hands-on exploration and real-world learning.

With a focus on environmental stewardship and scientific discovery, participants will use trail cameras to capture the daily lives of animals and learn how to protect and preserve the natural habitats around them. Whether you're passionate about botany, wildlife, or simply love being outdoors, the Junior Wave Ranger Club invites all budding naturalists to deepen their connection to the environment and become champions of conservation!
