Become a Jean Lafitte B.A.R.K. Ranger
Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve
Hey dog! Do you want to explore parts of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve with your leash-holding companions? Interested in getting your very own B.A.R.K. Ranger dog tag? We made it easy for your human to help you get one. Just follow the B.A.R.K. Ranger code!
Hey dogs! Are you sniffing out your next adventure? Most National Park Service locations offer a Junior Ranger program designed for kids to explore and learn through self-guided activities. Our pets are part of the family, and they visit our park sometimes too! The B.A.R.K. Ranger program is all about our fur babies learning how to responsibly visit the park. Does your pup have what it takes to lead the pack in park etiquette? Follow these simple steps and your dog can earn their official B.A.R.K. Ranger badge! Here’s how: Pick up a B.A.R.K. Ranger activity card at a participating visitor center. Complete your activity card while practicing the B.A.R.K. code. Show a park ranger your completed activity card, raise your paw for the swearing in, and earn your badge! Because every good dog deserves a pawsitive adventure!
