Ranger Rick
American children's nature magazine
Ranger Rick, formerly Ranger Rick's Nature Magazine, is a children's nature magazine published in the United States by the National Wildlife Federation. The magazine features stories, comics, games, jokes, and articles for kids to know and learn about nature, and how to protect it. The mascot of the magazine is a raccoon called Ranger Rick, who appears in every issue with his friends. The first issue of the magazine was made in 1967 by J.A. Brownridge. The magazine is still printed today, along with the magazines Ranger Rick Jr. (for preschoolers), and Ranger Rick Cub (for toddlers).
