What does Benjamin love most about nature?

Ben loves to discover the many creatures you can find by exploring nature like insects, birds, chipmunks and fish. He enjoys spending his time creating art from leaves, sticks and flowers, which makes him very proud because he can show his love for nature this way. When he's hiking he loves to enjoy the scenic views of mountains, forests, lakes and streams, and to listen to songbirds. Ben loves to birdwatch and learn the names of bird species, and then helping others learn them too.


What is Benjamin's favorite animal—and why?

His favorite animal is a lion because he loves their manes, which can make the lion look both scary and cuter. He thinks it's very cute when the mothers carry their cubs inside their mouths to move them. He also loves their roar and the fact that they're king of the jungle. Ben has a yellow tabby cat named Sunny who reminds him of a lion.


What is Benjamin's favorite outdoor activity?

Ben has lots of favorite activities outdoors, his most favorite of which is making a nature stew in his playhouse outside. He collects twigs, leaves, flowers, mud puddles, which combine together to glow-up in a beautiful array of bright colors. He and his friends ask his parents if they want a 'salad' and keep cooking up new recipes. He is a passionate protector of native plants in his school too, leading his classmates in a re-wilding project and inspiring people to care about the Earth.
