What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreI love that nature is a home for all animals. The forest, oceans, and soil are like neighborhoods where creatures live, eat, and grow. When I am outside, I feel like I am visiting their world and learning about it. I like being careful and respectful because every animal needs its home to stay safe and healthy.
My favorite animal is the centipede because I think they are really cute when they are young. They have so many tiny legs and move in a funny, wiggly way. I like learning about animals that people don’t always notice or understand. Centipedes are interesting because they help nature by hunting other small bugs.
My favorite outdoor activity is catching bugs. I like looking under rocks and leaves to see what creatures live there. It feels like a mini adventure every time I find something new. I always try to be gentle and let the bugs go back to their homes after I look at them, but first I keep them in tanks for a while; this helps me learn about nature up close.
