What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love nature because it’s full of mysteries and new things to learn. I like getting muddy, climbing rocks, and feeling the wind and rain. I think bugs, leaves, and animals are amazing, and I want to know all about them. Being outside makes me feel happy and free. I don’t mind the dirt, it means I’m having fun! Every time I explore, I find something new, and that’s why I love the outdoors so much.
My favorite animal is the panther. They're strong, fast, and move so quietly, it’s like they’re sneaking through the jungle! I think they’re super cool because they can climb, swim, and hunt all by themselves. Panthers are also the mascot of my favorite hockey team, the Florida Panthers! I love how powerful they look, just like the players on the ice. Panthers are wild and awesome.
I love being outside playing team sports, swimming, finding bugs, and watching birds! One of my favorite moments was watching a cardinal family build their nest right outside our window. We saw them carefully place every twig, then sit on their eggs until they hatched. Both mom and dad worked together, leaving to find food and feeding their babies. It was an up-close experience, and I loved seeing nature happen right in front of me!
