Where’s Bentley? He will be found up in a tree or turning rocks to find cool bugs. He explores, builds and protects nature for all of us!
Thank you for generously supporting Bentley in this year’s competition. Your participation helps empower the National Wildlife Federation in their mission to protect wildlife, restore habitats, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.
What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreHow nature works! He watches the ants as they build their anthills. Then, he will build a prototype to see if they move to his homemade anthill, too! He follows the moths and butterflies and tries to study their wings. He catches frogs and builds passageways for them at the riverbank. He sits in the crevice of our tree and just sits, quiet. I choose to allow him his thoughts when he does this. I know, in his mind, he’s flying like a bird while he’s perched in a tree. I see his joy - in Nature.
The otter! It’s hard for him to put in words but when he talks about the otter, he describes the way they swim. He also likes their faces and how they pop up and then disappear just as quickly.
Bentley's favorite outdoor activity is turning over rocks to discover bugs! 🐜 Then! He loves jumping on the bag swing to soar as high as the birds!
