What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreWhat I love about nature is waking up in the morning and hearing the birds sing. I also love learning about animals, reptiles, and fish. There’s always something new and exciting to discover when I’m outside.
My favorite animals are foxes, raccoons, and squirrels. I like foxes because they are sneaky and curious, always exploring. Raccoons are cool because they have ringed tails and clever paws. I love squirrels because I enjoy watching them run, jump, and play in nature.
I love fishing. I like taking the fish off the hook and seeing all the wildlife around me. Being outside makes me feel excited and curious. I use my imagination to pretend I’m different animals in their habitats. Sometimes I’m in the desert or the forest—other times, it’s snowy or sunny. Nature is always an adventure!
