What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreExploring it! Writing down everything he finds, including different trees, plants, insects and animals. He loves how the weather changes but especially when he can be outside in it. He loves the serenity of nature. You will sometimes find him meditating; being calm and happy just in its presence. Family and friends often tell us they could learn a thing or two from the way Ben views nature and life.
Honestly, depends on the day! Ben is learning about animals all the time. He especially loves Honey Badgers right now with their fearlessness; standing up to predators bigger than them, and how they work together with Honeyguide Birds to get honey. He teaches us animal facts constantly!
Riding his bike, playing with friends, swimming, sledding, fishing, and rocking climbing with dad. He loves to explore in the trees and large open fields in our neighborhood, and especially loves to get his hands dirty! :)
