What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreMy son has a deep love for nature and is a true outdoorsman. He thrives outside—exploring, fishing, and observing wildlife. He knows most local birds and animals by name and is incredibly knowledgeable about our natural surroundings. His passion is genuine, and he often impresses adults with his insight. He’s probably a better guide through our local swamps than some professionals, and his enthusiasm for the outdoors is truly inspiring.
Rowan’s favorite animal is the capybara because of its calm, friendly nature and how well it gets along with other animals. He admires how capybaras are social, peaceful, and love being in the water—just like him. Their laid-back personality and unique look make them stand out, and Rowan enjoys learning everything he can about them. He says if he could have any animal as a friend, it would be a capybara.
Rowan loves fishing, hiking, and exploring swamps because they let him connect with nature up close. He enjoys the thrill of catching fish, spotting wildlife, and discovering hidden places. Being outside makes him feel free and curious—there’s always something new to learn or see. He especially loves finding animal tracks, identifying birds, and being near water. These adventures fuel his passion for the outdoors and make him happiest.
