The Forest Preserve District of Kane County will host an outdoor scavenger hunt from 9 a.m. 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. Then, they’ll hit the trails to see if they can find everything on the list. Once they complete their quest, they’ll head back to the shelter to claim a prize on a first come, first serve basis, according to a news release.
