What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreDeclan loves diving into the world of animals—their habitats, unique traits, and how they interact with nature. He’s especially fascinated by how animals help plant life thrive and how plants support animals in return. Exploring these connections keeps him curious and inspired.
My favorite animal is the Emerald Tree Boa. They're one of the world’s largest constrictors and can eat prey twice their size. I think it’s amazing how they use their strength and stealth in the trees to survive. They're not just powerful—they’re also one of the most beautiful snakes in the rainforest.
Fishing and Nature Tag is one of my favorite activities because it combines adventure and the outdoors. I love the excitement of catching fish and then switching gears to explore nature—spotting wildlife, identifying plants, and learning how everything in the ecosystem connects. It’s the perfect mix of fun, discovery, and being outside.
