Receive Text UpdatesAsher has been quoted many times saying, “Nature is life!” He says his favorite thing about nature is that it gives plants, animals, insects, & humans everything we need to live! The sun, water, food, oxygen… He loves that nature is literally LIFE!
Asher’s favorite animal is…. Bats! He says bats are his favorite because they are nocturnal & they have echolocation! His most prized possession is a bat stuffy he got after visiting Austin, TX two years ago, who he lovingly named Wing-y. He sleeps with Wing-y every single night. “I love Wing-y because he’s nocturnal so he watches out for me while I sleep!”
He loves to go on nature walks & keep a look-out for bugs— he’s hoping to see a praying mantis in the wild this year!
