Nature Nuts Farm Scavenger Hunt by Bella the Horse
For more FUN print this page and bring it to the farm with you. 
Never touch or eat things on this list.
Just observe like a real Naturalist would and leave everything just as you find it. But if you find trash or paper, please help us keep the farm clean and the animal’s safe by putting all garbage in a bag and leaving it in a garbage can at the parking area.
Always stay within site of your parents or guardian. (Parents, see note below.)

Now, how many of the above items could you find near your own house?
(Update September 2016: Our dear Hamilton has been watching us from horse heaven for a few years now, and recently our wonderful Jet joined him. Our beloved Eddy The Greyhound is also no longer romping around the farm either…)
NOTE TO PARENTS:
The Buddy System is always a good idea when exploring.
If you have a child who wanders, please bring along whistles that can be worn around their neck. Don’t forget to instruct your child to stay in one place and teach them how to use the whistle during emergencies.
If you wish to take your family swimming in the river, we recommend visiting one of the nearby county or state parks for that activity after your tour.
