How it works

In 2020, with many youth extracurricular activities closed, we thought of ways to offer youth a way to get outside and interact with nature while winning some prizes. Then in 2021, we launched Notice Nature, a program aimed at getting kids to look up, look around, and notice nature - the first step to land and water stewardship. We worked with existing and new partners and created a bingo-style game where youth completed fun, nature-loving activities and submitted their cards to their local library for a prize. Our youth compromised so much over the last few years, and we were pleased to offer them this exciting new program to head into the summer with. Notice Nature was a great success from its very first year and has evolved to include participants of all ages! Notice Nature launches each spring and prize distribution runs until fall.
