"The North Cascades are Calling" for Stewards and Volunteers

For over forty years, park staff, partners, and visitors have cared for this national park. As we look ahead, to our fifth decade and to the National Park Service's centennial in 2016, we know that national park stewards will be needed, now more than ever, to help protect this place for future generations.

Learn more about our volunteer opportunities and what events we have going on in and around North Cascades.

Four new FREE Junior Ranger Booklets

A dynamic new Junior Ranger Program is now available for kids and families visiting their national park. Four age-appropriate booklets introduce the unique natural and cultural history of the North Cascades through a series of fun activities and are organized around a specific theme to build connections and knowledge of this national park.

Each booklet also has a “totem animal” that helps guide kids and families through the activities and offers instruction, hints and ways they can explore the North Cascades. Download the activity booklets for the Pacific Treefrog (ages 3-5), Black Bear (5-8), Raven (8-11), and the Mountain Goat (12+).

Future Junior Rangers can earn free badges, patches and certificates at any of the six visitor information centers in North Cascades National Park Complex.
