Tree Quest returns for another year of education and fun

January 13, 2020 by Post

 

SARASOTA COUNTY – In celebration of Florida Arbor Day, Sarasota County is once again inviting the community to journey on a “Tree Quest,” during a two-week scavenger hunt at county parks.  Starting on Jan. 17, the scavenger hunt is aimed at highlighting the importance of trees and their many benefits. The community is encouraged to search for five types of trees using clues at either North Lido Beach, 50 Benjamin Franklin Drive, Sarasota; Culverhouse Nature Park, 7301 McIntosh Road, Sarasota; Manasota Scrub Preserve, 2695 Bridge St., Englewood.   Cards that list the clues are available at county libraries and to download online.Trees will be tagged with a fact sheet to not only let you know you’ve found the right one, but to also help you learn more about the benefits that trees provide. After you’ve found all the trees, submit the answers for the chance to win prizes.  “Florida is the first state to celebrate Arbor Day each year,” said UF/IFAS Extension Horticulture Agent Marguerite Beckford. “So, it was important for Sarasota County to highlight the natural beauty that surrounds us, while creating a fun, educational challenge.” For more information, call the Sarasota County Contact Center at 941-861-5000 or visit scgov.net (keywords Tree Quest).
