What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreWhat Zane loves most about nature is that it feels like a giant, never-ending mystery. There is always a new trail to explore, a hidden stream to find, or a cool insect he has never seen before. He loves the feeling of discovering something new every time he steps outside."
Zane's favorite animal is the snake because they are one of the most unique animals in the world. From the way they use their tongues to 'smell' the air to how they can climb trees or swim, they are ultimate survivors. He also loves to watch them slither.
Zane is the happiest when he is on the move! Whether he is hiking to a high viewpoint, biking through a forest, or swimming in a natural lake, He loves the excitement of exploring the outdoors. Every hike or bike ride is a chance to be a scientist and see what's happening in the natural world.
