The 2011 Texas Nature Challenge has officially started. This is a great way to get to know local natural resources and ecosystems with your family.
The Texas Nature Challenge, put together by Texas A&M, is a scavenger hunt that has you traveling to different nature spots around Austin and completing simple challenges. The challenges are set up as a way to “introduce you to wildlife that live in the city” Go online to register your team and then be sure and pick up a “Family Adventure Journal” from an REI store beginning May 14th. There will be a closing ceremony July 16th from 11-1pm at Zilker Hillside Theatre.
Other Texas cities can also participate, see Texas Nature Challenge website for more details.
Beginning May 14th, Nature Challenge teams are invited to come by any Central Texas REI store to pick up their “Family Adventure Journal”
