What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreAda loves how much she learns when she explores nature. She has traveled to 28 national parks and has earned a Junior Ranger badge at each one, and every park shows her something new - from wildlife to landscapes to history. Nature makes her curious and inspires her to protect these special places.
Her favorite animal is the wolf because of the book, A Wolf Called Wander. It helped her learn how wolves live in family packs, travel long distances, and work together to survive. Wolves are smart, loyal, and important to nature, and the story has inspired her to write her own short stories about wolves. She hopes it will help others fall in love with wolves as well and want to help protect them.
Her favorite outdoor activities are hiking and kayaking. She loves hiking because it lets her explore trails, see wildlife, and discover new places in nature. Kayaking is fun because she can be on the water, move quietly, and see nature from a different perspective. Plus, they are fun activities to do with my family.
