Liam is a life-long animal lover who told his parents that he wanted to work with animals at the age of three. Since then, Liam has been reading up on animals and the environment, and checking-out all sorts of animals around his home, camp sites, and hiking trails.<\/p>\n

\"Liam
Liam on his latest adventure, fishing in a remote northern region.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This summer he has been\u00a0listening to and watching cicadas\u00a0mature, and Liam\u2019s Mom brags about his really LARGE collection of\u00a0empty ciccada shells. As a young nature enthusiast, Liam saw the Earth Rangers\u2019 show at his school and later at the Royal Ontario Museum. Liam loved the part of the show when the owl flew around the gym and when he met Sammy the Serval. After the show, Liam took his Earth Rangers\u2019 trading card, grabbed a computer and logged into EarthRangers.com where the idea of kids making a difference just stuck and the rest is history. Cue the super hero music!<\/p>\n

Ranger Deed<\/h2>\n

This section should really be called DEEDS, since this Super Ranger has gone above and beyond to spread the word about conserving animals and their habitats. When Liam\u2019s family had a garage sale during the summer, Liam had them donate the profit to his Bring Back the Wild<\/em><\/a> campaign, which helps save land for animals at risk. Liam liked this idea so much that he decided to turn his animal themed birthday into a Bring Back the Wild<\/em><\/a> extravaganza. Instead of birthday presents, Liam asked for donations to put towards the Peregrine Falcon, Wolverine, Grizzly Bear and Jefferson Salamander projects.<\/p>\n

Words of Wisdom<\/h2>\n

Liam has plenty of things to say to other kids out there, like how he hopes “everyone will love all animals not just the cuddly ones.” He also thinks that everyone should “stop littering and stop hurting the land. Save the trees!” Liam hasn\u2019t just impressed his fellow Earth Rangers; he has become a hero to members of his family, who are all so proud of him for his creative approach and ambitious efforts to make a difference. Two thumbs up Liam\u2026WAYY up!<\/p>\n
