Town-wide scavenger hunt comes to Charlotte in July

The Charlotte Land Trust is hosting a scavenger hunt for children and families during the month of July. The scavenger hunt highlights many of the conserved farms and scenic areas in Charlotte.

Here’s the idea — you and your gang get together and try out activities designated in the hunt. Each activity involves conserved land in some way. For example, can you make an all-Charlotte burger consisting entirely of local ingredients such as beef, tomato, lettuce, onion and maybe a bun made from local wheat?

When you have completed five or more of the activities, email the land trust with what you did. You will be entered into a drawing to win a prize. The two winners will score a Charlotte Land Trust ball cap, a box of berries and flowers from Adam’s Berry Farm and a $10 gift card to the Old Brick Store.

Copies of the scavenger hunt instructions with the list of activities will be available at the Charlotte Town Party on June 28, or you can stop by the library, senior center, Spear’s Corner Store or the Old Brick Store to pick up a copy.

While you are out enjoying the hunt be sure to check out the red “This Land is Conserved” signs highlighting conserved land in town. The signs will be up from around June 28 to July 10. The Charlotte Land Trust puts up these signs annually to draw attention to the wealth of farmland, natural areas, scenic vistas and wildlife habitat we are so blessed to have in our community.
