The Forest Preserve District of Kane County will host an outdoor scavenger hunt from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, May 11, at Tekakwitha Woods Forest Preserve.

Tekakwitha Woods Forest Preserve is located at 35W076 Villa Maria Road in St. Charles.

Attendees will first meet a naturalist at the preserve shelter to gather directions and supplies. They will then hit the trails to see if they can find everything on the list. Once attendees complete their quest, they’ll head back to the shelter to claim a prize on a first-come, first-served basis, according to a news release.

The free program is for all ages. Registration is required. To register, visit kaneforest.com/register, call 630-444-3190 or email programs@kaneforest.com.
