Jr. Ranger Ian - Honored With Youth Ambassador Award From Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation

Five years ago, the Jordans went on a family outing to Millers Pond Park in Rocky Point, North Carolina. It was an easy hike for then four-year-old Ian, whose parents were keen on engaging him with the outdoors. With plenty to explore around the pond, Ian could observe the water, touch the trees, or find critters in the dirt. But it was also here that the Jordans discovered Kids in Parks. Crossing paths with a TRACK Trail sign, they picked up The Need for Trees brochure activity and began adventures that would continue to this day.
