Redwood Ranger Summer Programs
Summer is a great time to get your feet wet and explore the wild places all around us. This year, children of all ages (5-18) and K-12 teachers can join TreeUtah for a Redwood Ranger Adventure Day at our Redwood Nature Area restoration site. Participants will be naturalists for the day learning about native trees and wildlife along the Jordan River – we’ll wade in wetlands, explore trees and ecosystems, and discover the unique environments that can be found in our backyards. Adventure Days will take place in late July, each session is 3 to 4 hours long.
