Hey Educators!
Connect your Classroom with a National Park Ranger.
Receive a Personalized Video Postcard from a National Parks Ranger answering your students’ questions.
What we do
Our flagship program inspires students to get curious about the outdoors by connecting them to National Park Rangers and other outdoor leaders across the country via personalized video messages, answering student questions.
We want to turn curiosity into connections and promote stewardship of our natural world by letting student inquiry lead the conversation.
What we do
Our signature “Digital Postcards” program connects classrooms with National Park Rangers across the United States via Video Postcards. Our Rangers represent a wide array of National Parks, Historic Sites, and Monuments. Post Pigeon EDU provides a flexible curriculum to educators, we pass along your students’ questions to the rangers, and you receive a personalized video postcard in response. You focus on getting your students curious about some of our world’s most treasured and special places, we’ll handle the rest.
Our Pillars & Process
Get Curious.
Through our free educational curriculum, students are introduced to National Parks and the importance of environmental stewardship, in addition to learning about the flora, fauna, history, and geology of their selected park.
Get Connected.
Educators then engage their students’ curiosity through inquiry-centered activities, and get student questions answered by National Park Rangers and other outdoor leaders from across the country in the form of personalized, asynchronous video messages.
Get Involved.
After connecting with a National Park Ranger, students are then asked to investigate how they can become environmental stewards and advocates for the green spaces in their own community. Lastly, we then connect students to programs that will get them physically outdoors, at a free or reduced cost.
Who is this for?
Post Pigeon EDU is a free program for K-8 classrooms across the U.S. Whether you are a sixth grade Earth Sciences teacher eager to have your students ask questions about some of the incredible shores of Acadia National Park, or a Media Specialist looking to connect your students with individuals applying subject-matter knowledge to their real-world jobs – our program is flexible and adaptable to your needs. We let you and your students brainstorm together on public-lands-related topics they are keen to learn about.

How can we spark curiosity about the outdoors for ALL students? This is the central question that drives all that we do.
Why? Because we know and believe that sparking curiosity about the world beyond what’s right in front of us is of vital importance for the future of our planet. Our overarching vision is for students to develop a lifelong relationship with the outdoors, using Post Pigeon EDU’s in-classroom activations and connections to National Parks as the entryway. By unleashing the curiosity of students and galvanizing young leaders that reflect the image of our nation, we can build a world where ALL students feel safe and welcomed in the outdoors.
