What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreI love wandering and discovering new plants and animals, and learning how to care for them in the great outdoors. I enjoy sunsets, waterfalls, the ocean, and listening to nighttime animal sounds under the stars. Nature feels peaceful and alive. I also love planting things and watching them grow with love, water, sunshine, and sometimes even singing.
My favorite animal is a flamingo because they are calm, unique, and beautiful. I think it’s amazing how they can balance on one leg for so long. It also makes me laugh that they have such tiny knees! In many ways, we have a lot in common, especially our bendiness. I love their pink color, ⁷it makes them feel soft, special, and a little magical.
I love hiking. One time, we hiked Raven Cliff Falls with our friends and neighbors. There was a mini cave, and we had a picnic by the waterfall. It was exciting to spot a snake along the way, plus lots of different insects and wildlife. Hiking is never a dull moment there’s always something new to discover and a surprise waiting.
