What does Gwen love most about nature?

She loves getting lost in the wonder of nature, whether she's walking a familiar path or discovering a brand-new trail. The changing Midwest seasons make it even more magical for her: from watching flowers bloom and insects buzz to life in the spring, to skipping stones in quiet creeks during summer, to marveling at the vibrant colors of fall leaves, and finally, crunching through fresh snow in winter until her toes go numb.


What is Gwen's favorite animal—and why?

Dolphins, because they are playful and full of energy. They also get to spend their whole day swimming, an activity she loves!


What is Gwen's favorite outdoor activity?

She loves spending time outdoors with friends and neighbors, especially when they are playing tag or hide-and-seek. One of her favorite adventures is creek stomping- she gets especially excited when she spots a crawdad!
