The program is held every Saturday and is organized by the National Parks Service.
Kelchner said volunteers teach children different and creative ways of recycling cups, paper, bottles and other reusable things.
Participants last week made posters calling on the community to preserve the environment.
They recycled cans, bottles and papers, and their work was displayed in the lobby of American Memorial Park.
“The program is free and the activities are fun,” Kelchner said. “The program is for kids to enjoy.”
The participants can bring home their finished projects.
According to Kelchner, the main topic in the reading session is climate change, recycling and coral reefs.
Saipan is a small part of the world’s but is also affected by climate change as any other country around the globe, she said.
She believes that the children here, being surrounded by the sea, should be aware of how to preserve coral reefs.
She is also inviting parents to enlist their children in the Junior Ranger Program.
Children will be able to participate in different activities, help in preserving the parks, and learn more about national parks and the nation’s cultural heritage.
Children who complete the program will be given certificates and Junior Ranger badges.

Kelchner is also inviting the public to join the Veterans Day Celebration at the park on Nov. 11.
