Ridgely is a curious red fox who takes children on exciting adventures through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He explores historic cabins, trails, and landmarks, sharing fun facts about the Smokies, its history, and the people who once lived there. Along the way, Ridgely introduces kids to native plants and wildlife — from black bears and salamanders to wildflowers and towering trees.
Through puzzles, games, and nature activities, Ridgely helps kids build a love for the outdoors and discover the magic of the Smoky Mountains. His mission is to inspire a lifelong appreciation of national parks, wildlife conservation, and outdoor exploration, encouraging families to get outside, protect nature, and pass on their love of the Smokies to future generations.
Ridgely's Adventures are great for kids ages 7–12, parents, teachers, and homeschool families who want to combine learning, adventure, and environmental education in a fun and engaging way.
