Today's Junior Ranger Adventure Day took place at Galena Creek Regional Park! Ranger Nick and Ranger Todd taught about the Water Cycle and about life in Nevada's streams, rivers, and ponds. Everyone learned to appreciate and how to protect our valuable water. Keep an eye on our 'Calendar of Events' page for future programs!
