What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreEthan absolutely loves everything about nature! He’s a true tree hugger who lights up when he hears birds singing in the trees. He’s fascinated by ecosystems and could spend hours exploring how bugs, animals, and plants all live together in harmony. Whether he’s chasing butterflies, studying ants, or gently hugging his favorite tree (a pear tree) his heart is fully at home in the wild. Nature isn’t just something he enjoys, it’s where he feels most alive and at home!
Ethans favorite animal is the fox🦊 because he thinks they’re the perfect mix of cute and clever! He loves how fast and sneaky they are, darting through forests with their bushy tails trailing behind. He’s fascinated by how foxes can adapt to different environments and still stay playful and curious—just like him! Their bright eyes and pointy ears make them extra adorable in his eyes, and he always says, “Foxes are like nature’s little ninjas!”
My son’s favorite outdoor activity is a wild mix of adventure & exploration! He loves climbing trees like a little squirrel, feeling the wind in his hair and the bark under his hands. Hiking the trails at Pine River Nature Center is his happy place—especially when we reach the creek. That’s where the real fun begins! He gets right in with bare hands, catching crayfish and even mud puppies, laughing the whole time. It’s messy, exciting, & totally him!
