Discover Placer’s Natural Beauty with Nature Quest!
Join Placer Land Trust’s Nature Quest, a unique program designed to inspire you to connect with nature, explore scenic trails, and experience the natural beauty of our public preserves in a fun, free and engaging way!
Nature Quest will provide a new, free event each month hosted by Placer Land Trust Community Council volunteers. Each experience is designed around a theme to provide a unique way to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors and introduce you to popular trails and hidden gems across our public properties. Additionally, we have an array of on-your-own activities for when it is most convenient to do a Nature Quest with friends, family, or solo.
And don’t forget to share your fun by posting on Facebook or Instagram, tag @placerlandtrust or include one of these tags: #PLT-NatureQuest #OutsideWithPlacerLandTrust
If you choose to take part in a self-guided activity, please be sure to bring enough water, food, and weather protection appropriate to your visit.
