The Urban Forest Scavenger Hunt is an engaging, family-oriented activity designed to educate Edmond residents about urban forestry. Set in public spaces like Downtown Edmond and local parks, the hunt features sixteen tree stations, each offering information on a different forestry topic. Participants, who must reside within Edmond City Limits to win prizes, engage with educational signs at each location, can submit entries for prize drawings, and learn considerably about trees while enjoying the outdoors. Winners announced weekly on Urban Forestry's Facebook page.
To participate, individuals access station locations through downloadable maps, find stations using a combination of these maps and visual cues, then submit their completed entry forms via QR codes found on-site. Those without smartphones may use a printed PDF form to participate. This initiative not only incentivizes learning about the urban forest but also encourages community involvement in a unique, interactive manner. The scavenger hunt, fostering both educational growth and physical activity, is open to all but emphasizes prize eligibility for Edmond residents, concluding with grand prize drawings on April 19.
