What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreRiley loves animals. She loves learning about their habitat, what they eat, how they survive, if they mate for life, etc. She loves exploring different habitats and trying to envision which animals may live there. Riley loves hiking. Give her a walking stick and she is in full explorer mode. She has a thirst for information. She always has questions and loves learning about nature. Riley is passionate about advocating for animals and cares deeply for them.
Riley's favourite animal is a Squirrel/Chipmunks. She says they are so fuzzy and cute. She loves that they are curious and smart. Quite often they can outsmart people at their bird feeders. They are also very athletic and agile. She thinks they are funny to watch and would love to be able to get closer to them/feed them. She is always asking for a hamster in her room.
Riley's favourite outdoor activity is to climb trees and make habitats out in nature. She loves playing in water. She is often outside at the pond/stream. We live on a farm, so she loves exploring nature and caring for her animals. She loves to be independent with this- it really makes her feel proud and accomplished. Like she is making a difference. Her quiet/calm demeanour always wins over the chickens and sometimes she just lays in the grass snuggling them. She loves all baby animals.
