There’s always something new to discover, whether it’s a hidden trail, a cool rock, or a tiny creature. Raising monarch butterflies with her Papa each summer makes her feel proud, like she’s helping protect nature in her own special way.
Maeve's favorite animal is the monarch butterfly because she has a special connection to them. Raising and releasing them each summer has taught her how small actions can make a big difference. She loves watching their transformation and knowing she’s helping support their incredible migration.
Her favorite outdoor activity is exploring while geocaching and searching for animal tracks with her dad, especially in Northern Michigan and Wisconsin. She loves the thrill of discovery, finding hidden treasures, identifying prints, and imagining the wildlife that passed through before her. Every trip feels like a new adventure!
