Mav and Phoenix are curious, kind, and love nature! They explore, protect, and spread joy—perfect Junior Rangers in the making!
Thank you for generously supporting Maverick in this year’s competition. Your participation helps empower the National Wildlife Federation in their mission to protect wildlife, restore habitats, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.
Mav and Phoenix love the freedom nature gives them to run, climb, and explore. They’re happiest digging in the dirt, building forts, and searching for bugs. Mav loves climbing trees and finding “treasures” like cool rocks or feathers, while Phoenix enjoys splashing in streams and pretending sticks are swords. Their imaginations come alive outside, where every trail, tree, and muddy puddle becomes part of their next big adventure.
For Mav, it’s hawks—he loves their sharp eyes, flying high and free, and spotting them on hikes makes him feel like an explorer. For Phoenix, it’s frogs—he’s fascinated by how they jump, hide, and surprise him in puddles or the garden. Both animals reflect their personalities: Mav’s love for soaring adventure and Phoenix’s curiosity and playful spirit.
Mav’s favorite outdoor activity is climbing trees—the higher the better. He loves the challenge and the view from the top. Phoenix is all about digging in the dirt—searching for worms, making mud pies, and getting his hands messy brings him endless joy. Together, they could spend hours outside building forts, collecting treasures, and imagining wild adventures.
