On Tuesday, join the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area for an interactive, family friendly “Plant Bingo Hike.”
Participants should meet at the Lovell Visitor Center at 9 a.m. Where they head out to hike will depend on the number of participants and the weather. Hikers can participate in one to three rounds. Two rounds will be focused on common native plants and the third will be focused on noxious weeds in the area.
Participants will be immersed in the natural world around them, searching for plants on the bingo card. Instead of numbers, these cards will feature pictures of the vegetation in the hike area. Once participants get a “Plant Bingo,” they can show Ranger Haley Lynn from the Youth Conservation Corps. Lynn will verify the bingo and will share a fun fact about the plant while the bingo winners will receive a free post card.
Participants should bring sunscreen, lots of water, a hat, sunglasses, closed-toed shoes, pants, and bug spray.
