The Ranger's Almanac

The Ranger’s Almanac is an annual tribute to the art and music inspired by America’s wild places. Created by the park and forest rangers who live in rhythm with the land, each edition gathers their stories, photographs, and nature-shaped melodies—echoes of forests, deserts, rivers, and open sky.

This YouTube page brings that creative spirit alive. Here, we feature musicians whose work appears in each year’s Ranger’s Almanac, along with songs and artwork from members of the public who craft their own tributes out of a deep love for nature.

Together, these voices form a shared chorus of the wild—rangers and nature-lovers weaving their experiences into music and art that honor the places that inspire us all.
