What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreWeston loves nature because it’s full of mysteries to explore. He’s curious about everything—why leaves change color, how rocks skip, and how animals talk to each other. He notices the smallest details and always asks thoughtful questions. Whether he’s watching birds, collecting bugs, or caring for animals at home, Weston is happiest outside, learning how the world works. Nature is his favorite classroom, and every day is a new adventure.
Weston’s favorite animal is the clouded leopard because it can camouflage in the deep forest. He loves how it moves silently, blends into its surroundings, and stays hidden from sight. To Weston, it’s like a real-life jungle ninja—smart, mysterious, and powerful. He’s fascinated by its unique coat and climbing skills, and he admires how it survives in the wild using stealth and smarts. It’s the perfect mix of beauty and bravery, and that’s why he loves it most.
Weston’s favorite outdoor activity is capturing frogs and water snakes. He loves exploring creeks and ponds, carefully watching the water for movement. With quick hands and lots of patience, he gently catches them, studies their patterns, and then lets them go. He’s always excited to see what he’ll find next. For Weston, it’s the thrill of discovery and the chance to get up close with his favorite slippery creatures that makes it the best adventure.
