My daughter is inquisitive and loves exploring nature. She loves learning how to interact with nature without harming it, even worms & bugs.
Thank you for generously supporting Dorothea 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.
She loves protecting spiders, pill bugs, bees, and worms while digging in the garden. She is passionate about all wildlife and loves to learn how we can help nature thrive. She loves watching wildlife shows and learning how zoos care for their animals. Her favorite thing to do is explore outside and play in the rain. She enjoys learning where food comes from and how to care for our waterways. Since she could walk, she has cleaned up trash, leaving everywhere cleaner than we found it.
Her favorite animal is the hippo. She loves going to the Cincinnati zoo and seeing Fiona and her friends swimming around and playing in the water. She could spend hours watching the hippos play, and has books and toys that are hippo themed, and loves learning about how Fiona was born early and eventually was strong enough to swim and to be introduced to the other hippos.
She loves to puddle jump when it’s raining and dig in the mud. Gardening in the rain is something she has been really enjoying with her dad lately. It has been especially rainy where we live, but she loves it!
