Lincoln Safari Details

Lincoln Safari will get families and other groups of people off the couch and into unstructured corners and hidden places within Lincoln thus encouraging a sense of exploration and discovery. It will provide opportunities throughout the year to experience the natural environments in the Lincoln community.

When a family or group registers to participate they will receive a map. Registrations will be taken at all public libraries. The winter safari sites will be available January 1, 2010.

There are 30 safari spots. Many are accessible by city bus with a minimum of walking. Some are accessible from the hiker biker trails; some are right on our city streets. Groups are encouraged to walk, skip, bike, roller skate, and skateboard to these locations All 30 sites are marked on the safari map with a different symbol.

These symbols:
1. Identify the safari site on the map.
2. Identify the clue for the site in the guidebook.
3. Match the rubbing plate on top of the post at the safari site.

Several sites will have a souvenir given away as a reward for visiting that site. In order to collect the souvenir, participants must make a rubbing of the symbol on the post at the site in their guidebook. The directions for collecting the souvenir, if there is one, are on the post. One souvenir will be given per family.
