Learn more about Hike and Seek™!

Hike & Seek™, a NWF fundraising event, is a cross between a nature hike and scavenger hunt aimed at bringing family and friends together in the great outdoors for fresh air and fun!

Spend a Saturday morning with your children in nature for their health and happiness while supporting vital NWF programs like Green Hour, Nature Find, Trees for the 21st Century, Certified Wildlife Habitat and Schoolyard Habitats that help get kids back outside.
