The Great Swamp Partners, an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the unique ecological and cultural resources of the Great Swamp watershed, will host an engaging and educational scavenger hunt titled “Treasures of the Swamp.” This event is designed to foster community involvement and celebration of local biodiversity, taking place on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participation is free of charge, making it an accessible opportunity for families and individuals alike.
Participants are encouraged to explore the Great Swamp watershed in search of hidden treasures by solving riddles and uncovering clues scattered across six distinct locations within the region.

The scavenger hunt format encourages teamwork, allowing participants to join friends and family to collaborate on solving puzzles. This camaraderie enhances community ties while promoting outdoor activity in a region known for its natural beauty.
In addition to the scavenger hunt, the event will serve as a platform for the Great Swamp Partners to share insights about ongoing conservation efforts and initiatives focused on preserving the watershed’s rich biodiversity. This aligns with broader regional objectives aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability and community resilience against ecological challenges.
