My daughter has loved animals from a young age. She is fascinated with animals, nature and her happy place is being outdoors!

What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreI love how nature is all around us and never stops growing. If a tree dies it can drop seeds to sprout a new plant or be home to animals. It’s fascinating that nature has been around for many generations and that it cooperates together like worms make soil and parrot fish make sand!
My favorite land animal is a horse because they are unique and back in the olden days they transported and helped people to get to different places. My favorite ocean animal is the Octopus because they camouflage into their surroundings and they have unique colors, shapes and movement.
My favorite outdoor activity is swimming in the beach and diving to explore the sea creatures and the ocean floor to see what I can find. Every time I go into the ocean I see something different and that’s makes it’s so exciting and interesting.
