SHERBURNE – On June 8, Friends of Rogers announced the start of a new activity for the education center, a summer scavenger hunt.

Every Monday morning up until Labor day, Rogers Environmental Education Center will post a hint for something that can be found in the park. Hunters must take a picture of what they think the answer will be and post it to Facebook with the hashtag #RogersScavengerHunt2020. The group will then announce the answer each Sunday evening.

Executive Director Simon Solomon said that as the hunt progresses, they will start to offer intensives for participating.

"As we progress through June, July, and August we will begin to offer incentives for uploading or tagging photos of the answer to our various social media outlets. This being our first week we are evaluating the interest behind the hunt."

Based upon interest and community participation the education enter may opt to continue into the fall.

"Nobody really knows how long this pandemic will last therefore we are in the midst of trying to set ourselves up for success in the future by being ready for whatever the upcoming fall and winter brings," said Solomon.

The hunt is geared toward anyone who has access and the ability to get to Rogers Center.
