Sang Run Pollinator Search
Quest Materials
Description of Quest:
The quest will take you to five interpretive signs in the meadow at Sang Run State Park. These signs will teach you about the fragile ecosystem of pollinator habitat. There will be five questions that correspond to each of the signs, that ask a question that can be found word-for-word. The first letter of each answer will spell out a five-letter word, which wins the Park Quest.
