What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreZola enjoys identifying different types of trees, discovering which plants and flowers are edible, and even rescuing animals in need. Her favorite sounds are birds singing, water flowing through a creek, and the wind brushing against her face. Zola is always up for an adventure, whether she's hiking a new trail, exploring a park, or heading out on a camping trip. What Zola loves most about nature is the way it makes her feel—free.
Zola’s favorite animal is the panther—she thinks they’re majestic, mysterious, and beautiful. As a lifelong cat lover, she feels a deep connection to big cats and cares passionately about protecting them. She’s especially concerned about panthers losing their homes to habitat destruction and roads cutting through the wild places they need to survive.
She loves to explore new creeks and make mud cakes!
