Take the Earth Day Preserve Challenge with Berks Nature

Mar 08, 2023
Earth & Environment

Berks Nature’s Earth Day Preserve Challenge is officially on!

Berks Nature challenges you to live every day like it’s Earth Day by getting outside this spring and exploring the variety of Berks Nature-owned preserves scattered across the county!

While you’re exploring these preserves, breathe deeply of the fresh air, keep an eye out for wildlife, and be sure to leave the land better than when you found it – use this time to reflect and share your gratitude for these incredible natural spaces.

STEP 1: Start by picking up a Preserve Passport at The Nature Place in Reading or print your own using THIS LINK!

STEP 2: Travel with your Passport to each nature preserve and find the Earth Day Challenge rubbing post. Take a rubbing in your Passport as proof of your adventure!

STEP 3: On Earth Day (April 22, 2023), get your Passport validated for prizes at either The Nature Place or the City of Reading’s Earth Day Celebration at City Park! Visit at least three preserves to earn a prize and if you fill your Passport with rubbings from all six preserves, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a gift card!


The Challenge has begun and will run through Earth Day, April 2023. Get your Passport and get outside today!

Printing your Passport at home?

Be sure to print double-sided (print on both sides of the paper), and select “Flip On Short Edge”. You should end up with three, double-sided sheets of paper. Fold each page in half and fit them together (each page is numbered to help you place them in order) to make a 6-page booklet. Staple the booklet together along the fold and you’re ready to hit the trails!
