Flathead Land Trust is excited to launch our new Junior Ranger Program at Harrell Forest near Bigfork! This free program invites children up to age 12 to explore and learn about nature outdoors.
Kids can complete the program during a visit to the 238-acre Harrell Forest on Swan Hill. This community forest, owned and managed by Flathead Land Trust, features several family-friendly trails.
To become a Junior Ranger, children complete place-based activities and tackle the challenges in a fun-filled booklet. Requirements include attending an event or hiking the trails. The booklet features a maze, connect-the-dots, word searches, crosswords, and bingo. These activities make learning about the forest’s birds, plants, wildlife, and geology fun and engaging.
Once finished, bring the completed booklet to the Flathead Land Trust office in Kalispell. Every participant will receive an official Junior Ranger certificate and an embroidered badge!
