The Great Swamp Scavenger Hunt Kickoff

Long Hill Township Library 917 Valley Rd, Gillette

The Great Swamp Scavenger Hunt Kickoff is a FREE adventure game that is open to kids and adults alike! It's one of the most entertaining ways to discover- or rediscover- some of the great sites of natural, cultural, and historic importance tucked away in Long Hill Township. On your hunt, you'll learn about how water moves through our towns while scouting out trees, environmental groups, and waterways in the area!  You will have 2 weeks to complete this program. Grab your scavenger hunt booklet at the library any time during the two weeks of the event. Join GSWA staffers for this kickoff event to learn more about the hunt and enjoy some fun things to do to wet your appetite for this fun adventure brought to you in collaboration with Long Hill Twp. Library.   Register for the zoom webinar HERE! Be sure to scroll down to "Scavenger Hunt Kick -off: Sat. 4/1 12-2pm with the Great Swamp Watershed Association" and check "Yes, I want to attend".
