TAKE PART IN OUR SCAVENGER HUNT!
Bear-Paw's Springtime Scavenger Hunt will go through April 15th, at which point everyone who has submitted a completed Scavenger Hunt form will be entered to win a prize! Send us photos of your special finds and we will share them on social media.

Scavenger Hunt Rules:

• Up to 5 items can be cross counted (for instance, pine cones contain seeds)
• Sign of a difficult to find animal is acceptable in place of a visual sighting. For instance, finding a fox will be very tricky indeed, but you might come across its hair, scat, or den- and that absolutely counts as having detected a fox!
• The “Extra” section does not need to be completed but for every “Extra” you can forgo two of the harder items in other categories.
• Last but not least, please feel free to share the locations of any difficult to find items on the list! Although this is technically a “contest,” our goal is to foster enjoyment of the outdoors and a sense of community during these stressful times.

Bear-Paw has conserved over 9,000 acres with the help of our members, local landowners, communities, and other project partners.  This map highlights the public conservation areas (dark green). You can zoom in to the properties to get a better sense of topography and water features. We are working to add trail details to the map.
