Receive Text UpdatesHis favorite thing about nature is all of the animals, but he also likes staying active in nature because it keeps him healthy (going for nature walks, riding his bike or scooter and walking his dog. He also enjoys learning about planting seeds and growing a garden so that he has the skills necessary to make his own plant food. Tripp has always loved all aspects of nature and learning about how it impacts all areas of our lives.
His favorite animal is a zebra because every Zebra has their own stripes and those stripes confuse predators. Zebras are very communicative and "talk" in their own language and he finds that fascinating. He also thinks it's super cool that underneath their fur they actually have black skin. Not many people know that.
Tripp loves fishing, camping, going to the lake to look for beach glass. He loves spending time in Northern, MI with his family. He's always enjoyed the outdoors for so many reasons. He feels calm outside and loves to breathe in the fresh air.
