"Every Kid in a Park" is a program offered by the U.S. Forest Service to all fourth grade students in the country.
It is very easy to be part of the free program. First step is to log onto www.everykidinapark.gov and get a free pass.
President Barack Obama created Every Kid in a Park so fourth graders and their families could discover our wildlife, resources, and history for free!
All participants are also eligible to cut down a free Christmas Tree in Lake Tahoe.
“The Every Kid in a Park initiative encourages fourth-graders and their families to get out and enjoy their public lands,” said Forest Supervisor Jeff Marsolais. “By providing students and their families an opportunity to go out and cut a free Christmas tree on National Forest System land, we hope to inspire a lasting commitment to caring for and preserving these lands.”
To obtain the free Christmas tree permit, eligible students must obtain the paper voucher online, present the printed voucher in person along with their parent or guardian to a Forest Service office and participate in the cutting of the Christmas tree.
The "Every Kid in a Park" program offers helpful tools on where to go, what to see, protected animals and much more.
