What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreAric loves discovering the new things around every corner while out exploring nature. To him nature's not just a patch of trees and wild plants, it's a hidden world full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. Each visit brings a new adventure and the chance to learn.
Arics favorite animal is a tie between a cheetah and a honey bee. Cheetahs because they're so fast and can out run everything but honey bees work so hard pollinating everything. Aric enjoys making safe areas for bees that have water and plants so they can take a well deserved break. The bees help us so much and everyone should help them.
Aric likes to put his imagination and creativity to use by crafting things in the wild. Whether it's a safe rest stop for honey bees, a bug cross walk, or little homes for other wildlife, it brings him joy to be able to help nature in some way. He spends time picking up litter and then uses natural materials to make something not only beautiful but useful as well.
