Learn MoreElla says "I love nature because of the animals, the trees, and the fresh air. Being outside makes me feel happy and calm. I love seeing different animals and hearing the sounds around me, like birds and leaves in the wind. Nature is so beautiful, and I enjoy exploring and learning about it."
Ella says "My favourite animal is squirrels because they have cute, fluffy tails and are really fun to watch. I think they are very smart because they can climb trees so quickly and find and hide their food. I like how busy and playful they are, and they always make me smile when I see them outside."
Ella says "my favourite activities are swimming in the Ontario lakes, tree climbing, and hiking. I love swimming because the water feels fresh and fun, especially on warm days. Tree climbing is exciting and makes me feel like I’m exploring and getting closer to nature. Hiking is one of my favourites because I get to see beautiful scenery, breathe in fresh air, and sometimes spot animals along the way."
