The final session of the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Be a Trailblazer initiative runs through Saturday, Nov. 8.
More than 2,000 people have participated this year, completing over 60,000 nature-themed missions, according to a news release from the forest preserve district.
The fall session features two batches of missions.
Prizes include a Fitbit, mini Solo stove, walking poles, a fishing starter pack, a s’mores kit and gift cards from local businesses, according to the forest preserve district.
Weekly drawings award Be a Trailblazer T-shirts. Prizes are provided by The Nature Foundation of Will County and more than two dozen local partners, the forest preserve district said.
Be a Trailblazer participants can join by downloading the free Goosechase app and searching for Be a Trailblazer or entering code PQNL75. All prizes are awarded randomly.
Fall is an especially good time to get involved, said Chad Merda, head of digital marketing strategy/engagement for the forest distrct.
“Walking a trail in a preserve in a different season can be like an entirely different experience due to those scenery changes,” he said in the release.
