Nature Quest is a treasure hunt! You use clues in the passport to find treasure boxes hidden at nine of our Public Conservation Areas. The clues will lead you through amazing wildlife habitats and across interesting historical and natural features. At the end of each quest there is a waterproof box that contains a special stamp, an ink pad, and a logbook. Use the stamp to mark your passport, then sign or stamp the logbook (see highlights).
At the workshop participants will learn how to find the clues, make their own stamps, and begin their Quest. Participants will receive a free print out of the Schor quest. Just for the workshop, there will also be a special new quest set up for participants who previously completed the Schor quest.
