We’re going on a nature scavenger hunt! Put your knowledge of nature to the test as you explore the French Broad River Park during this fun-filled family event! Join WNCA to enjoy the Fall colors as you discover the natural world and compete against other families to earn the title of the most skilled detective. Activities will start at 1 pm at the French Broad River Gazebo with our Assistant Riverkeeper, Nick Rose.
Meet other families and learn about invasive plants, their impacts along the river, and how to identify them around the park. Each family will receive a nature detective “book” with a list of items to find, clues and riddles. Will you be the first to find every item? Can you find an invasive plant? Art in the Park: After the hunt each team will use the items they found around the park to create a Nature Box Diorama to take home. Use the materials provided and your imagination, of course!
So bring the kids and enjoy a day in the park! Light snacks will be provided and our staff will be on hand to help you on your hunt and answer questions.
