Deschutes Forest invites kids to become Jr. Snow Rangers
The Deschutes National Forest, Discover Your Forest and Mt. Bachelor invite you to enjoy some family time in the Forest playing with your kids as they become Junior Snow Rangers.
From noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, January 25, February 22 and March 15, families can attend the Deschutes National Forest and Discover Your Forest Junior Snow Ranger event at Mt. Bachelor West Village.
An additional event will be held at Skyliner Lodge, 16125 Skyliners Road, Bend, Oregon 97701 on Sunday, February 15, from noon to 4 p.m.
The Junior Snow Ranger event is designed for children in the 4th and 5th grade, but activities are appropriate for 7-11 year olds. Activities will include snowshoeing, winter safety, exploring snowflakes, wildlife tracking, winter ecology, and the joy of winter fun. The program mission is to inspire youth to embrace a life-long relationship with the winter environment, and to become stewards of the land.
It is a family program and adults are encouraged to play with their kids. People can stay for an hour or for the day.
The event is free, but donations are greatly appreciated to support Discover Your Forest programs throughout the Deschutes National Forest.
To register please call Karen Gentry, Conservation Educator at 541-233-6110 or kwgentry@fs.fed.us.
