Junior Ranger Series: Exploring Nature In Your Back Yard Set For April 17

  • Tuesday, April 6, 2021

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park announces a park ranger will conduct a 30- minute virtual children’s program about the natural resources within the park and their relationship to the park’s history on Saturday, April 17, at 2 p.m.

"In addition to its rich historical and cultural significance, the park also hosts a diverse ecosystem of plants specific to the Tennessee Valley," officials said. "In identifying some of these plants, children can appreciate the unique elements of their natural environment and understand more of the nature in their back yards."

This is the second of four Junior Ranger Series programs this year. Children who participate in three of these programs will earn a special Junior Ranger award.

The program will be conducted on the park’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/chickamauganps) and the park’s YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/chchnps). Instructions on accessing an Audio Described version of the program will be provided on the park’s social media platforms as well.
