Receive Text UpdatesWhat Willem loves most about nature is that it’s like a big adventure. I love exploring trails, seeing animals in their homes, and discovering things like cool rocks, bugs, and plants. Nature makes me feel happy and it also reminds me that we all have an important job to help take care of our parks and the animals that live there. That’s why I love being outside and learning how to protect nature.
Willem’s favorite animal is a dog because they are loyal, friendly and are great friends who love to play, go on adventures, and be by your side.
Skiing and hiking are my favorite outdoor activities because they let me explore nature in different ways. Hiking lets me slow down and notice things in nature. Skiing is exciting because I get to move fast down the mountain and feel fresh air. Both activities help me enjoy the outdoors, stay active, and appreciate how amazing nature is.
