What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreAs a Muir Woods Junior Ranger, Ayaan loves all parts of the natural world, from the mycelium networks connecting forest floors to blue whales in our vast oceans —and says the thing he loves most is that nature can be very quiet and it makes him feel relaxed.
Ayaan says his favorite animal is a wolf because they live in a pack. Living in a pack, he says, helps them to stay safe; and together they also keep their pups, who are the future of the pack, safe too.
Ayaan says his favorite is hiking. He especially likes exploring hills, because he, "enjoys seeing the life down below, the sky and clouds above, and it makes him think about protecting nature."
