What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreHe's fascinated by the food chain. How the ecosystem all works together and plays a role. He also loves the life cycle of trees. How they shed their leaves in the fall and grow new buds in the spring. How bees are such an important part of our lives and we couldn't survive without them.
His favorite animal is cats! He loves how they can be calm and cuddly one minute, and then a crazy kitty with the zoomies the next. He thinks the stuff they get up to is really funny, from squeezing into really tight spaces, knocking things over, shredding toilet paper all over the house, to chasing the red light of a laser pointer. He plans on having many cats when he grows up!
His favorite outdoor activity is climbing trees! He enjoys climbing and finding different bugs, birds nests, squirrel nests, and sitting there looking down at nature around him. He wants to make sure everyone knows he doesn't touch the nests or bugs! He also just likes the act of climbing. What better way to do so then get up close and personal with nature?
