Description: This is for a 3" patch that reads: AUBURN SRA - JUNIOR RANGER. This is a new (2022) Junior Ranger patch used at the Auburn State Recreation Area. Junior Rangers is one of California State Parks? most popular programs. It is offered in over 70 state parks. The program has two primary goals: * Provide an opportunity for children to participate in fun, hands-on activities designed especially for them; * Develop in children an appreciation for the cultural and natural resources preserved in state parks, an awareness of the interrelationship among those resources, and a desire to help protect them. Junior Ranger activities cover a variety of topics, including animals, plants, history, weather, recycling and park careers. They are tailored to the local environment and the resources of the park where the program is held. Each activity provides a worthwhile experience that promotes further thought and action by the child, rather than just instruction. The statewide Junior Ranger program officially began in 1973, after several years of trial programs. Former Junior Rangers are now bringing their own children and grandchildren to the programs. Some Junior Rangers have gone on to become California State Parks employees. The Junior Ranger program, in inspiring children to become resource stewards, is truly a promise to the future of California and the world. Auburn SRA (which is 20 miles long on two forks of the American River) is situated south of Interstate 80, stretching from Auburn to Colfax. The main access is from Auburn, either on Highway 49 or the Auburn-Foresthill Road. In the heart of the gold country, the Auburn State Recreation Area (Auburn SRA) covers 40-miles of the North and Middle Forks of the American river. Once teeming with thousands of gold miners, the area is now a natural area offering a wide variety of recreation opportunities to over 900,000 visitors a year. Major recreational uses include hiking, river access, boating, fishing, camping, mountain biking, gold panning, limited hunting, equestrian/horseback riding trails and off-highway motorcycle riding. Whitewater recreation is also very popular on both forks of the river, with Class II, III, IV, and V runs. Over 30 -private outfitters are licensed to offer whitewater trips in Auburn SRA.
