Just for Kids

The Forest Service is committed to connecting kids with nature and the outdoors by providing students, parents, and teachers with youth-oriented information and resources related to natural resources and the environment. We want to encourage more kids to go outdoors by having fun, being healthy, and learning more about nature. This can instill kids to create an awareness of the value of public lands, seek careers in natural resources and land management, as well as enthusiastically participate in physical activities. The online resources here will help them in the process.
