Onsite Activities

Try these activities while visiting the sanctuary for a fun-filled time on the trails! 

Find and Seek!

 

If you’re really interested in “WHAT is that?”, try downloading a fun app called "SEEK." Take a photo of a plant or animal with your phone and SEEK can help you figure out what it is, and tell you a little about it! It is from our friends at iNaturalist and is a great way to get young explorers involved in nature and becoming a community scientist.
