Step 2: Join us on April 24th and earn your badge!

At this live Zoom event, Obi will unveil his artwork made from community submissions and take us on a tour of California’s ecosystems. Then, Junior Wildlife Ranger in-house environmental educator Gila Juarez will lead us in hands-on activities from our new Neighborhood Badge program.

You’ll receive a special digital Earth Day badge and a physical badge mailed after the event!

Come to see a master ecological artist connect your artwork to a larger whole and experience firsthand how Junior Wildlife Ranger helps kids forge a personal connection with nature.
