Trail guides and nature discoveries across three states

Scavenger hunts add a way to notice local plants, wildlife, and geology along the route. The selection spans landscapes including forests, prairies, riversides, rock ledges, and gorges, with examples ranging from Moraine Hills State Park to Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
