Winter Scavenger Hunt

It may be cold outside, but winter is a great time to watch wildlife or find evidence that wildlife has been around! So bundle up and get outside to see what you can discover. Take this list with you for a winter scavenger hunt and mark off the things as you see them. How many of these things can you find? Can you get a whole row or maybe fill the whole card by the end of winter? Have fun learning about Ohio’s winter wildlife this season!
