Friends of the Boyne River - Treasure Hunt

A recent C3F Environment & Land Use grant is helping visitors discover the wonders of the Boyne Nature Area in a whole new way! The Friends of the Boyne River have created a fun, family-friendly nature treasure hunt that encourages visitors to explore the area's trails in search of native plants. New educational signs share fascinating facts about each species and help guide treasure hunters throughout the trail system. Located in Boyne City's industrial park, the Boyne Nature Area features scenic trails, boardwalks overlooking the Boyne River, a picnic pavilion, and countless opportunities to experience local wildlife and native habitats.

We joined Friends of the Boyne River for the program launch and loved seeing this creative project bring environmental education to life. Be sure to grab an instruction sheet at the pavilion, find a few treasures, and share your discoveries on their Facebook page.
