Wood Lake Nature Center's Low Impact Scavenger Hunt

Most scavenger hunts ask you to find something and bring it back. This scavenger hunt is different; it asks you and your family to find things that can't necessarily be brought back. A sound, a sight, an experience-these are the things that you'll be hunting for.

Good luck and please obey the following rules:

• Stay within three feet of either side of the trail
• Pick up any litter that you see unless it is broken glass
• Take your time and enjoy being outdoors!
