He loves the endless curiosity that nature sparks. Every trip outdoors is filled with questions about how plants grow, where animals sleep, and why the seasons change. He especially loves the physical adventure of climbing and exploring, paired with the quiet moments of birdwatching. Whether he's looking at a mountain view or a tiny bug, he sees the wonder in it all and takes great pride in knowing he's doing his part to keep the Great Outdoors wild and clean.
He loves the capybara! He is fascinated by how they get along with all different species. This year as a Lion Scout, he’s been practicing teamwork and friendship. He is excited to Explore our parks and Learn how different animals coexist, just like capybaras do. By understanding how they stay calm and social, he hopes to Protect the balance of nature and show others that being a Junior Ranger means being a friend to all living things.
He loves hiking! Whether it’s a short nature walk or a long mountain trail, he is always eager to Explore his surroundings. He takes the Junior Ranger motto to heart by stopping to Learn about the plants and trees along the way. He is committed to helping Protect our public lands by following "Leave No Trace" principles, ensuring that the wilderness stays pristine for the next hiker to enjoy.
