 various Federal Agencies.  \n\nTogether, we will expand the traditional 
 guided Junior Rangers program to feature Pan African Heritage along the 
 American River Parkway (1840-1875) in context of a full experience of the

 Statehood and a greater measure of freedom earned on the bloody battles of 
 our US Civil War. \n\nThere are 12 different activities as part of the 
 Negro Bar Historic State Park Junior Rangers Program.  Geology, ecology, 
 history, safety, plants, and wildlife are some of the activity areas that

 educational program in which children aged 6 to 14 are encouraged to 
 participate and learn to value the beauty of California.\n  \nThe program 
 emphasizes stewardship of park resources and connects innovative 
 educational resources to global concerns.  Awards such as pins, 
 certificates, and patches are given to participants as they progress 
 through the program.  \n\nOur exciting new program is being designed to 
 encourage all children and visitors discover the rich natural, cultural and
