Ranger Rick is a children's nature magazine published in the United States by the Education Department of the National Wildlife Federation[1] Its first issue was published in January, 1967. Historically, the magazine has been aimed at children; the NWF site today suggests ages 7 and up. (Another companion magazine, Your Big Backyard, is aimed at ages 3-7.[2]) Most of the pages of the magazine feature multi-page photo stories of animals in their natural habitats. There are also illustrated stories, games, riddles, nature news, poetry, contests, and other features and columns.
The January, 2007 issue of Ranger Rick marked the magazine's 40th anniversary.
Ranger Rick also refers to the protagonist in a long standing feature of Ranger Rick magazine, Ranger Rick's Adventures. The feature is published in the form of an illustrated short story, in which raccoon Ranger Rick and his gang of friends from Deep Green Wood explore the world, and often encounter threats to wildlife and environmental problems.
