What does Sawyer love most about nature?

She loves butterflies and sloths. Butterflies amaze her with their colors and how they help flowers grow. At a sanctuary in Costa Rica, butterflies fluttered all around her in the garden. One even landed in her hands, and she held it so gently like she was protecting it. Sloths make her smile because they move slowly and peacefully in the trees. She loves watching animals in their natural homes and learning how to protect them.


What is Sawyer's favorite animal—and why?

Sloths are her favorite because they make her happy every time she sees them. She loves how they hang in the trees, move slowly, and always look like they’re smiling. When she visited Costa Rica, she loved spotting sloths in the wild and learning how important it is to protect their rainforest home. Her father even got a sloth tattoo in her honor.


What is Sawyer's favorite outdoor activity?

She loves exploring outside, building bird feeders, and watching animals visit. She gets excited every time a bird lands nearby and loves learning how to help wildlife feel safe in nature.
