Join Montana Outdoor Science School for annual nature quest

Join Montana Outdoor Science School for annual nature quest April 18 – 23

A fantastically fun week of scavenger hunt clues, trivia, an online auction, prizes, fresh air, and community spirit in support of outdoor science in Montana

MOSS’s biggest, trickiest fundraiser of the year is back – bigger and more fun than ever! This week-long celebration of outdoor science centers on a scavenger hunt for MOSS’ 5’ rainbow trout hidden somewhere along the public trails of Gallatin Valley. Daily clues will be posted on MOSS’s Facebook (@MontanaOutdoorScienceSchool) and Instagram (@mt_moss) pages at 9am and 3pm. The first treasure hunter to find the MOSS fish wins a grand prize including:

4 soaking passes to each: Yellowstone Hot Springs, Chico Hot Springs, and Bozeman Hot Springs
1 Madison River Tubing Trip for 4 with Montana Whitewater
1 mini-version of our Quest trout (17 inch rainbow trout stuffed animal)

The next 20 successful finders will be eligible for additional prizes by sending a photo of their team with the trout to MOSS (info@outdoorscience.org) or showing us their photo at our booth at the Gallatin Valley Earth Day Festival at the Emerson from 10am-3pm on Saturday April 23rd.

Additionally, MOSS is hosting an online auction all week long featuring fresh-air inspired items generously donated by local businesses to raise funds for MOSS’s year-round outdoor science education programs.

But wait, there’s more! This year, Nature Quest is expanding to include an online Trivia Night on Wednesday, April 20th for teams to test their nature knowledge and win prizes. On Saturday, April 23rd, run with the MOSS team at the Earth Day Fun Run hosted by the Bozeman Wind Drinkers, and afterwards, stop by MOSS’s booth for family-friendly activities at the Earth Day Celebration on the Emerson Lawn.
