What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreWhat I love most about nature is witnessing life go through all stages. I love the sound of leaves in the fall, the rivers in the spring, exploring in deep ice in the winter, and the welcoming smell of flowers in the nearby botanical gardens in summer. I love how the animals just know in their instincts how to navigate each season and I love being part of their world. Nature makes me feel wild, peaceful, and completely alive all at once.
It’s so hard to choose a favorite, I love koala’s and bee’s along with all forest animals, sea creatures, insects and birds. I think each animal has a purpose and their existence is crucial to our own. They are intelligent, empathetic, and magnificent creatures—a living miracle and a vast source of unknown knowledge.
I love hiking, canoeing, and exploring. Everyday is a new adventure in the woods and is only limited by my imagination and adventurous spirit—to which I have yet to find the extent of.
