Congratulations, you found a UC 4-H Community Adventure Challenge! Let's have some fun!
Your challenge is to observe patterns in the natural world around you. Keen observation skills are important for Adventurers.
These adventures are located all around Yolo County (a complete list of locations can be found on the navigation bar on the left).
Look around the park and notice all of the beautiful trees. Below are directions for how to complete this fun activity using these trees. You may choose to do all three levels of difficulty, each is a little different. Select which level you would like to try first.
There is also an activity you can do at home below.
