Receive Text UpdatesWhat I most like about nature is all the animals. I love seeing critters, birds , bugs and wondering what they are doing. . Nature makes me feel happy and calm. I like the fresh air, and sun Nature is my favorite place to play and explore. I wish to teach more kids and family about protecting nature, and talk about wild fire safety like smokey the bear !
My favorite animal at home is a dog but if I’m in the mountains my favorite animal is a bear . They can climb trees, swim, and take care of their babies. Bears are my favorite because they are powerful, smart, and live in the forest . The moms provide them with shelter and keep them safe like my mom does .
My favorite outdoor activity is enjoying Mother Nature and gods land in Graeagle . I love swimming in lakes in the Sierras with my pop because it is so fun and the water feels cold . I also like to look at tadpoles , and walk on trails with my family . I like to look at all the big trees and smell the fresh pine air . I also really enjoy my 4-h club and spending time on my leaders ranch .
