What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn morePhoenix loves anything and everything about nature…He is not afraid to get his hands dirty and is always holding a new bug or pointing to the next destination for exploring. He has a natural love for animals and knows every dinosaur name and can pronounce them better than every grown up in the house. Phoenix was born near the ocean and dove right into learning about every creature that exists or once did. He has a passion for learning and a deep connection to the natural world around him.
Phoenix’s favorite animal is all of them so it would be hard to choose. He has three cats at home and has developed a relationship with each. He can play interactive games and hold cats that are rescues and would question it if it were anyone else. He loves his cats and even teaches them the dinosaur names, I’m not sure they are listening but he’s a wonderful teacher to them and to his little brother and also to the grown ups! Phoenix loves all creatures on land, in water, sky and beyond!
Phoenix enjoys being outside and connecting with the natural world around him. Whether he is digging for worms or building a home for the bugs, he is always looking for a new and exciting reason to love the earth and its creatures. He is an artist and often documents his experiences through his artwork, even taking a journal to record his bird watching, a hobby he learned to love from his dad and grandfather. Phoenix enjoys getting his hands dirty and has a passion for learning!
