What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreSylvia is all about adventure in nature. She climbs trees, splashes in streams, and lifts rocks to find tiny creatures hiding underneath. She's always collecting cool rocks, spotting birds, and trying to catch fish. Plants, moss, mushrooms, and all the different textures of bark and grass spark her curiosity. She loves learning what animals do and why. Most of all, she’s always outside building magical fairy homes out of sticks and stones, turning the outdoors into her own enchanted world.
Sylvia’s favorite animal is the mouse. She thinks they are adorable with their tiny noses and soft fur, and she loves how fast they scurry around. She is fascinated by how many babies they have and how they care for them. To her, mice are not just cute. They are smart, busy, and full of personality.
Sylvia’s favorite activity is exploring on hikes. She doesn’t rush down the trail. Instead, she pauses to look closely at everything around her. She touches tree bark, turns over stones and logs, smells flowers and moss, and asks curious questions about what she sees. For Sylvia, hiking is all about discovering the hidden details in nature.
