What does Tyler love most about nature?

Tyler loves how nature makes him curious. He marvels at the unique ways animals adapt and survive in different environments. He enjoys how there are so many different kinds of species, big and small, colorful and bland, cute and ferocious, unique and common. In nature you never know what you will find. You won’t know what you find unless you spend time in it. Sometimes you get bug bites and scratches, but it’s all worth it for the moment of wonder you might encounter


What is Tyler's favorite animal—and why?

His favorite animal is the ferret. Ferrets are unique and curious like he is, and are not afraid to encounter any animal no matter how big or small it is. They look cute when they play, but can sometimes be ferocious in that same moment.


What is Tyler's favorite outdoor activity?

Tyler loves climbing. He likes climbing trees, boulders, steep hills, sand dunes, or any challenging obstacle. His inner monkey comes out when he is presented monkey bars, ropes or any competitive obstacle. When not monkeying around on land, he morphs into a marine state in Florida’s reefs to do his second most favorite activity: snorkeling. Once there, he fully enjoys the thrill of witnessing the colorful beauty of biodiversity.
