The Urban Park Rangers are your ambassadors to the natural world. Urban Park Rangers welcome school children through The Natural Classroom. This program is an inquiry-based hands-on program that encourages educators to bring students to parks to explore the natural world with the Rangers. With guidance from the Rangers, teens in Rangers Conservation Corps (RCC) restore natural habitats, reintroduce native species, and monitor and protect endangered plants and animals.
