To complete this challenge

Visit the front desk for a map.

Step two
Before Trailing Off...
Make sure you have what you need to stay properly hydrates along the trail especially during the Summer months. Grab a water form our gift shop, and a hat if you think you'll need one! Thankfully, there are plenty native trees around to keep you shaded.
Step three
Think like a pollinator!
Use the scavenger hunt to get a better idea of what plants pollinators may be attracted to and why.
Step four
Follow a pollinator!
One of the best ways to get to know wildlife better is by spending time with them! Take this opportunity to follow a pollinator around! I wonder what flowers you may notice them fly towards. Is there a pattern with the flowers they choose. Perhaps you will find them pollinating!
