HIKE & SEEK™ October 13!

This weekend be sure not to miss one of the biggest events on the Sanctuary all year: Hike and Seek™ We've been getting a lot of press about this event, on nj.com, patch, and the Bernardsville News, 

HIKE & SEEK™
Saturday, October 13
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Hike & Seek™, a National Wildlife Federation fundraising event, is a cross between a nature hike and scavenger hunt, aimed at bringing family and friends together in the great outdoors – for fresh air and fun! Held at the Scherman-Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary, the 1.5-mile hiking adventure will allow for kids to connect with nature and interact with five adventurous Stop & Study locations on our trails. By trading screen time for green time, this go-at-your-own-pace event will surely create a lasting impression and promote a healthy lifestyle for kids of all ages! Please preregister at: http://online.nwf.org/site/PageServer?pagename=hikeandseek_home. 

If you can't make Hike and Seek™ but still want to learn about nature this weekend, be sure to check out our Mountains Majesty program or go on a nature walk in Kittatinny Valley:
