It is our hope to instill a passion for wildlife and wild spaces in youth. The Wildlife Rangers Pin Program is a complimentary education program open to children ages 5 to 13.
This program encourages youth to learn more about different species by completing worksheets and then discussing them one-on-one with a Park educator. Upon completion of each work assignment, children will receive a collector’s pin. Each pin can only be earned once, and only one pin can be earned per day. Work sheets can be picked up in the Wildlife Education Centre, and brought home to complete, or, completed in the Wildlife Education Centre’s workspace where you will have access to many educational books on a variety of species and topics.
