Do YOU love hiking and animals? Then this contest is for you!

Get out and hike a local trail this week, and see cute animals for a chance to win BIG! Prizes include a PCOCC membership, hike ticket, limited-edition PCOCC tie-dye T-shirt and a big bag of birdseed!

Here’s how to win:
-Check out the images below to see how many points different animals are worth (don’t worry, if you aren’t in Canada you can still participate, we’ll look up the animals you see and decide on points according to how common they are!)
-Go for a walk or hike up to 2 hours long anywhere in the world (except zoos/farms/etc)
-Keep a list of the different animals you see, and count approximately how many of each
-If you don’t recognize an animal, try to identify it using guide books or apps like iNaturalist or eBird!
-As evidence, take a selfie at the trailhead, and for super cool/ 3+ point animals, try to take a picture or video of them!
-Send your final count (with animal names, to the best of your ability) to us through Instagram or Facebook messages or email (outdoors.carleton@gmail.com), along with your evidence pictures (even if it’s just the selfie) by midnight on Monday, September 28th

We’ll tally up the points and the top three animal spotters will get to choose from our awesome prizes!

Good luck and may the best animal spotter win!!!
