The Airdrie Hawks Junior Forest Warden program is an outdoor-oriented club that is designed to develop awareness, appreciation and respect for our natural environment, and the responsible use of it. 

Club activities are planned around the four foundations of the JFW program:

• Forestry
• Ecology
• Woodstravel
• Leadership

Junior Forest Wardens is open to children between the ages of 6-18 years.  While this is the official age group, the whole family is encouraged to participate. Club functions, outings and meetings are open to Wardens, parents, siblings and relatives.  Parental involvement is not only strongly encouraged, but appreciated. Junior Forest Wardens are grouped by age into four categories:

• Pathfinders - Ages 6-9
• Trailblazers - Ages 9-12
• Adventurers - Ages 12-15
• Challengers - Ages 15-18

This successful outdoors club is run by a group of enthusiastic volunteers whose children are now, or were involved in the Airdrie Hawks Junior Forest Wardens.

Junior Forest Wardens is not only a local club, but it is also a provincial and national organization.  Wardens can experience opportunities beyond the club level through provincial activities such as camp-outs and conferences.

Support and administration of the Junior Forest Wardens program is carried out by the Junior Forest Warden Association (JFWA).
