What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreMy daughter loves everything about nature-the feel of mud, the curiosity of discovering new plants, and the excitement of spotting animals. She finds magic in the smallest details, from worm trails to tree bark. Nature is her playground and her passion. She's eager to learn, explore, and protect it. A chance to learn from Jeff would fuel her love for the wild and help her grow into the kind of explorer and protector the planet needs.
Her favorite animal is the horse. She loves how strong, graceful, and intelligent they are. Horses are gentle but powerful, and she admires the bond they form with humans. She's fascinated by how they communicate, move, and live in herds. Whether it's brushing one or watching them run, she feels calm and connected around them. Horses remind her of freedom, kindness, and the beauty of nature in motion.
Her favorite outdoor activity is exploring. She loves walking through trails, turning over rocks, and finding hidden wonders in nature. Every outing is an adventure she never knows what she'll discover next, whether it's a strange bug, a new flower, or animal tracks. Exploring makes her feel like a real-life scientist or adventurer. It fuels her curiosity and deepens her love for the wild world around her.
