On Tuesday, July 30th, join YCC member Haley Lynn for a fun family friendly interactive Plant Bingo hike. The location is to be determined based on participants and weather. Meet at the Lovell Visitor Center at 9 AM. Hikers can participate in one to three rounds. Two rounds will be focused on common native plants and the third will be focused on noxious weeds in the area. Participants will be immersed in the natural world around them, searching for plants on the bingo card. The bingo cards will be set up the same as a regular bingo but instead of numbers there will be pictures of the vegetation in the hike area. Once participants get a Plant Bingo, they will show Ranger Haley from the YCC. She will verify the bingo and will share a fun fact about the plant. The bingo winners will receive a post card from our gift shop. This is a FREE event for the entire family.
