What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreStepping into the forest feels like entering a living art gallery. Every moss-covered stone and twisted branch is a sculpture, like the ones his dad creates. The sound of a woodpecker or birds and wind through the trees sounds like music. Finding a hidden swamp or ant city makes him happy; there is always something new to learn about. Each new plant or creature found is a secret shared by the earth.
Wolves. They are mysterious. Their ability to live in tight-knit packs shows a deep love to family, where every wolf works to protect and help each other. Beyond their strength, they are masters of communication, using sounds and facial expressions to show emotion. Fur that stops the freezing cold and an amazing sense of smell to find where they are going, they are ultimate symbols of strength and loyalty in the animal kingdom.
Exploring the world outdoors is where he feels most alive, especially when discovering a trail never walked before. He loves drawing nature, especially in the morning when all the plants and animals are waking up. Favorite activities involve being a detective, spotting hidden tracks in the mud or finding droppings to see who else is sharing the path. He also believes in giving back to these spaces, so he's always cleaning up litter and keeping an eye out for any wildlife in need.
