Join the Quest! Solano Outdoor Explorer Quest In partnership with the City of Vacaville, Solano Land Trust and Solano Resource Conservation District, Solano County Office of Education has created the Solano Outdoor Explorer Quest to help students get outside and experience science and natural phenomena in the world around them. Our hope is to spark interests in environmental learning and inspire wellness through physical activity and self-motivated exploration. The Solano Outdoor Explorer Quest is an outdoor treasure hunt, similar to Geocaching®, offering explorers and families the adventure of finding hidden QR codes, referred to as Questcaches. Each Questcache leads to discovery of native plants and animals living in the area through videos and a secret Questcache log to record their discoveries. The Quest is a great opportunity for students to get outside with their families, do some exploring, learn new things and connect with nature and the outdoors. SCOE’s first Solano Outdoor Explorer Quest course launched this summer at Lagoon Valley Park in Vacaville. The second Quest course is slated to launch this fall at Rush Ranch near Grizzly Island.
