What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreWhat I love most about nature is all the animals. I like learning how they live and what they eat. Nature is fun because there are so many different kinds of animals and plants to discover. Nature makes me happy. Most of the time, I like pretending that I’m an animal in nature when I’m outside playing.
My favorite animal is the Cockatoo because they are smart, funny, and beautiful birds. I like their big crest on their head and how they can talk to people. I think they are one of the coolest birds in nature. I’ve visited with one at the zoo before, that was fun!
My favorite outdoor activity is exploring nature where I live in rural South Dakota. Ranger riding in the open country or spending time on the lake is where I have made most of my memories as a child and are the activities I enjoy most with my family. I like looking for animals, climbing trees, and being outside in the fresh air. The big sky and open land make it fun to be outside every day. Living in the country makes nature part of my everyday life.
