Nature Trail Scavenger Hunt

							                             Nature Trail Scavenger Hunt

It is always fun to walk along a nature trail. It is even more fun when you
make your walk a scavenger hunt. A nature trail scavenger hunt is when you
gather as many things as you can from a list. If several children are included in
the scavenger hunt, make the hunt a game. All you need is a bag. Who is the
first person or group to find everything?

___ Something green                     ___ A feather             ___ A flower
