Looking for an excuse to spend time exploring the outdoors? Part scavenger hunt, part outdoor recreation, the 2023 Nebraska Great Park Pursuit is back for its 16th year.

The free program encourages participants to discover park areas statewide by visiting a group of 20 community, regional, state and federal parks between now and Oct. 31, 2023.

To participate, teams of up to 10 individuals must register online, in advance, at?negpp.org [ [link removed] ]. All ages may participate. Teams then follow clues from the website or Great Park Pursuit mobile app to find a program post within the park area. Once found, the team marks its visit in the app or makes a pencil impression of the post to prove its visit.
