About this file
This is a Field Guide Notebook document produced by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Forest Resources Division. The document serves as an educational and interactive tool designed to engage users in woodland exploration through a structured scavenger hunt activity. The notebook contains a comprehensive list of natural items for users to collect or photograph during forest visits, including geological specimens (pebbles, stones, Petoskey stones, fossils), botanical items (fern leaves, winged seeds, leaves in various colors, wildflowers, pine cones, acorns, mushrooms), wildlife evidence (deer antlers, deer tracks, raccoon tracks, possum tracks, feathers, insect specimens, salamanders), and tree-related items (tree saplings, tree bark close-ups, tree rings, holes in trees). The scavenger hunt distinguishes between items to be collected and items to be photographed only, with specific notations regarding legal restrictions on collecting stones from national parks. The document also includes blank pages for note-taking and concludes with messaging about Michigan's commitment to sustainable forestry and environmental stewardship.
The notebook was finalized on November 20, 2023, and appears to be designed for public distribution as an educational resource. The document emphasizes the importance of carefully managed and sustainable forests to Michigan's environment and economy, promoting awareness of forest conservation among users of all ages. No specific pricing, procurement timeline, contract terms, or bidding requirements are detailed within the notebook itself, as this is primarily an educational product rather than a contractual document. The related state and local contract opportunity indicates that Michigan DNR is seeking vendors or suppliers for the 2026 iteration of this field guide notebook, suggesting a periodic renewal or reprinting cycle for the publication.

Woodland Scavenger Hunt Although it may seem easy, this scavenger hunt is no walk in the park. Finding all these tiny items may require several trips into the woods – which would be cool. If you get all of them in one trip, congratulations! You must be an eagle-eyed forest whisperer!

Carefully managed and sustainable forests are not only essential to a healthy global environment, they’re also essential to Michigan.
• They help clean the air and water.
• Provide food and shelter to wildlife.
• Help support the Michigan economy in almost every sector.
That’s why we work so hard to keep our forests healthy and abundant.
In fact, every branch of forestry ensures that future generations will always have a tree for life and forests for a lifetime.
