What does Cross love most about nature?

The way it makes him feel. It is calming, smells clean and fresh and makes him feel welcome. It is a place he can leave the people world behind and become an adventurer or a gardener or just be in a place he feels accepted. He is the superhero protector of nature!!


What is Cross's favorite animal—and why?

His favorite animal is a tiger. They are beautiful, strong, and great hunters. If he had a tiger, he would name it "Meaty". Tigers are wise and hunt for food - they could teach human hunters to be better and only hunt animals for food, not for sport. They are wise and understand the balance of nature better than we do.


What is Cross's favorite outdoor activity?

Cross loves rock hunting. It is like a treasure hunt and the beautiful colors and shapes of his rocks are reminders of his hikes and adventures. He does not care that they are not valuable. To him they are special and represent different things like how some are from volcanic eruptions, some form over millions of years, etc. He thinks the rocks have seen and experienced many different things and they hold great knowledge. "If rocks could speak... the stories they would tell".
