Ranger Rick, originally Ranger Rick's Nature Magazine,[1] is a children's nature magazine that is published by the United States National Wildlife Federation (NWF).[2] The magazine offers feature articles and activities for children ages eight and up to spark their interest in the outdoors and encourage them to become more actively involved in protecting the environment.[2] The magazine's primary intention is to instill a passion for nature and promote activity outdoors.[3] NWF also publishes two companion magazines, Ranger Rick Jr., which is aimed at ages four to eight, and Ranger Rick Cub, which is aimed at kids zero to four years old.[4]
