Summary

Cozy up with a cup of hot cocoa as Emma shares a heartwarming story from her childhood! Before we dive into the new season coming in the new year, Emma takes you back to when she was just 9 years old, staying at her aunt's countryside home on a cold, foggy winter night. What started as a simple evening chore – counting chickens and checking on the goats – turned into Emma's very first wildlife rescue when she heard a mysterious, high-pitched scream in the darkness. Was it a bird? A coyote? Something else entirely?

Join Emma as she recounts the moment that changed everything and set her on the path to becoming an Earth Ranger. Plus, learn about Emma's top 5 countdown of animals that change color in the winter!

New episodes return in the new year. Until then, keep on rangin'!
