What does Charlie love most about nature?

Charlie said “Animals”. Exploring, finding creatures & new things. Everyday we walk, we find something cool. From fossils to spiders. Charlie is always digging around & studying things up close, observing what he sees & sharing that information. He notices everything. Our adventure walks inspire Charlie, his creativity and his curiosity.


What is Charlie's favorite animal—and why?

Well…Cuties (house geckos) have been his number one love for years. They are just too cute. Their little toes, their faces, when they lick their eyes with their tongue, the way they crawl up a wall and move. Cuties are a reoccurring theme in his life. Charlie and his best friend will make whole movies, stories and even games based around cuties. But he loves all animals, bugs & creatures. At this exact moment he is obsessed with little birds, he caught a some Bewick’s Wren and he is in love


What is Charlie's favorite outdoor activity?

Building ecosystems/worlds in the backyard & going for walks, exploring, finding new things & catching creatures.If we aren’t on a walk, then Charlie can be found in the backyard using his imagination to build, construct & create a whole world in the dirt.He will be out there for hours creating.He uses mostly natural materials & builds whole worlds with rocks, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, deep holes, plants & logs. He makes a whole story & often has me film while he narrates. He is so fun creative
