Get kids outside with free nature scavenger hunt app If you're looking for ways to enjoy the great outdoors this summer while still keeping you and your family safe, Great Parks of Hamilton County has a new virtual scavenger hunt that helps you learn about the wildlife, plants and fungi you see in local parks, your neighborhood or even your own back yard. The Nature Quest challenge is an easy way to engage with nature and participation is simple. Just download the free Seek app by iNaturalist and start identifying organisms. When you identify 15 organisms of the same class, send a screenshot of your fi ndings to naturequest@greatparks.org. You'll earn a custom, 3D-printed badge for each group of 15 organisms in the same class you identify. Collect 10 badges and earn the Master Naturalist trophy. When you email your screenshots, you can also include information about where you found each organism, which helps Great Parks know more about how our native plants and animals survive in our area. greatparks.org/calendar/special-events/nature-quest.
