What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreRichie loves trees and the sky. Mostly for their vastness and size. He loves seeing things in the sky: birds, clouds, planes, stars, insects, everything! He loves climbing trees and guessing how old they are. He knows different trees have different leaves and that some animals live in them.
Richie’s favorite animal is the snake. He loves how fast they are and the crazy way they move. He also knows to be careful around them because they can bite you. He knows some of them are poisonous and is learning more about them all the time.
Richie loves fishing most of all. He went river fishing for the first time when he was 3. He caught a small fish within seconds! He was hooked! (Some pun intended). He caught fish for almost 2 solid hours! Thankfully, he got tired and we had to stop. If not for that, we may still be there. He loves being outdoors doing any activities but fishing is his favorite.
