Jefferson County Park to host youth antler hunt

Jefferson County Park’s Nature Center will host a youth antler hunt from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday, April 2.

Enjoy this nature twist on an Easter egg hunt as participants look for deer antlers hidden in the park. Antlers will be hiding off the trails with difficulty depending on the age group. Participants will be hiking off trails and should come dressed for the weather. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

For the easy level, antlers will be hidden directly off a mowed trail allowing for easy walking and sight of the antlers. The medium level will have antlers hidden in a small section of prairie with a mowed trail encircling it. For the difficult level, antlers will be hidden in a large area of prairie.

The event is free. For questions, contact Jefferson County Conservation Naturalist Brittney Tiller at naturalist@jeffersoncountyconservation.com or by calling 641-472-4421.
