Whether it’s a bug under a leaf or a lizard in the sun, she stops to observe and appreciate it. Her favorite thing is exploring outside, discovering new creatures, and learning how to help keep nature wild, beautiful, and safe for every living thing that depends on it.
Sydney’s favorite animal is the honey bee, it has been since she was 3! She’s taken many bee classes, even ones for older kids, and loves learning about how bees help our planet. When a swarm flew through our yard, a beekeeper let her wear his hood and help move them into a nuc box. She wasn’t scared, she was amazed. Sydney knows that bees are vital to our food and flowers, and she wants to protect them so they can keep helping the world.
Sydney’s favorite outdoor activity is simply being outside. She loves it all;planting gardens, exploring trails, hunting for caterpillars, and swimming at the beach. Her favorite moments happen when she’s exploring new places, like the time she found real dinosaur footprints on a wooded trail in New York. Her eyes lit up with awe; she loves knowing she’s walking in the footsteps of nature’s ancient past.
