1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?

When me and my sister were climbing trees I was really far up and I fell off the tree and then I grabbed a branch and started swinging back and forth and I got a giant bruise.

2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?

Yes, my favorite place is going down to my swamp!

Now? I’ve always had a friend tree since I was 3 and I love to play with him and climb him

3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?

I love all animals and they are all unique but my most favorite animal is a seal because I think they are so cute and their personality is cool and that they have blubber. It’s cool how they can survive in the cold weather and they are unique.

4. What do you think is the greatest environmental challenge facing us now, and what do you think will be the greatest challenge in the future?

I think that the most bad thing that is now is global warming and in the future I think it will be gas prices.

5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?

What I would do is make there not be any animal abuse and that we should also stop littering.
