What does Rad love most about nature?

I love wildlife and discovering something new about nature every time I’m outside. I love how it looks, sounds, and feels to be right in the middle of it. It makes me curious and excited to explore more.


What is Rad's favorite animal—and why?

My favourite animal is the white-tailed deer. I like how they are big but so quiet, and seeing one always feels like a surprise. I also love birds! Especially the Scarlet Tanager. They are bright red but hard to spot, which makes them extra special, and I love their song.


What is Rad's favorite outdoor activity?

My favourite activity is camping because it combines so many things I love like hiking, biking, birding, and swimming. I like that when we’re camping, we’re never in a rush. There’s nowhere else to be except enjoying nature.
