Dear Visitor,

The Message in a Milkweed Scavenger Hunt is an opportunity to explore and enjoy Lake County Forest Preserves and an artist’s approach to connecting with our community!

This is finder’s keepers but I ask that you only keep ONE PER SEEKER, PER YEAR, please.

How to participate…

• Starting on March 22, 2025 these milkweed shaped clay pieces will be “planted” in various Lake County Forest Preserves. You can check the blog or follow Message in a Milkweed on your favorite social media platform to get locations and photo clues of where to find them. There will be 25 “plantings” this year! I am hoping that plantings will quickly find new homes. They will be pretty visible on man made landmarks and easy to remove!

Please let me know when a milkweed has found it’s new home! You can comment on social social media posts with your milkweed number, or complete the contact form on this page. This helps me let me let other seekers where NOT to look anymore!

When you have found one please also consider sharing your find AND the hopes and dreams you have for our community using the hashtag, #messagemilkweed

• Enjoy the beautiful and healthy resource that is Lake County Forest Preserves and please Leave no trace!

Thank you for playing!
