Start Their AdventureHolden enjoys losing himself in nature and taking back what he’s learned to educate others on how even the smallest creatures play a big role in our ecosystem. He believes every creature has a purpose, from bees pollinating to oysters filtering our waters. Whether he’s flipping rocks to find bugs, watching lizards sunbathe, or asking endless questions about sea creatures, he is always ready to explore, discover, and protect the wild world around him with curiosity, courage, and heart.
It’s tough for Holden to pick just one favorite animal — his top four are the wise owl, the clever octopus, the steady turtle, and the graceful seahorse.
Holden’s outdoor adventures are always full of wonder! He loves going to the beach to hunt for seashells and crabs, digging for hidden treasures with his metal detector, and exploring trails at the Oatland Island Wildlife Center. With his trusty magnifying glass, he carefully collects bugs to observe up close. Whether he’s uncovering nature’s secrets or just running wild with friends, Holden brings curiosity and joy to every outdoor moment.
