What is Jr. Ranger?

Her favorite animal is a fox because we have one in our woods and when she sees it, it makes her feel in awe. They are beautiful creatures, shy and clever and always figuring things out.
Hiking to the local waterfalls and doing a lot of exploring along the way! Anything with water- beaches, rivers, lakes— Her name “Naia” means dolphin in Hawaiian and also “to flow, or water nymph”
