What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreSydney loves how nature is full of life and surprise — she finds joy in rescuing frogs, foraging mushrooms, beekeeping, and helping plants grow. She lights up when exploring new places, always eager to learn about unfamiliar habitats, plants, and animals. She sees every moment outside as an adventure, and every living thing as something worth caring for.
Axolotls are her favorite animal because they’re super cute and always look like they’re smiling. She loves how they stay babies forever, live underwater with fuzzy gills like fairy wings, and regrow legs and tails. She thinks they’re magical and special since they only live in Lake Xochimilco. Saddened they’re endangered, she hopes to help protect them. Her dream vacation is visiting the lake to tour the canals and support axolotl conservation.
Her favorite outdoor activity is using her charismatic and funny personallity to share the wonder she sees in nature — Shes contantly outside pretending to host her own wildlife show. She loves learning from the wild, and wants to inspire other kids to explore, discover, and care for nature too. Her lifes plan at 7 years old, is to be a farmer, wildlife vet, and youtube star....Rolled into one! But for now she'll take JR. RANGER ;)
