  1. The A-B-C's of making a Quest… Ashley Osborne University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service

  2. A. Pick a spot that is a special place for you – perhaps a unique natural or cultural feature of your county.

  3. B. Find out who owns the property and request permission to make a Quest.

  4. C. Make a few visits to the site to uncover its details, and think about the best approaches to making a Quest on the site. Where should it start? And end?

  5. D. Find people in your community who can teach you more about your site - and invite them to walk the land with you. Take good notes! Historian Naturalist Old-Timer Landowner Tourism Folks

  6. E. Decide on your Quest strategy: a detailed map Quest; a map-less Quest; a jumble Quest (collecting words); a pict-o-Quest (no words-only following pictures!). Or any combination. Use your imagination and creativity-it's up to you!

  7. F. List unique features at your site that you may want to include in your Quest. Make a rough draft of your clues and sketch out your map. Movement clues lead from one place to the next; teaching clues tell the story of your site. Compose the directions to your Quest starting point.Example: Turn around. Look up in the sky, Can you find the opossum hanging high? Pass between the two trees standing tall, Move towards a flowing waterfall. Before 1950, the Cumberland River flowed free, With temperate waters: 35 to 85 degrees. This natural habitat was all a bustle, With paddlefish, banded sculpins, 60 kinds of mussels!

  8. G. Test your Quest with as many different people as you can, and make appropriate edits.

  9. K. Fill out the Kentucky Quest submission form and send it in so that your Quest can be included on the eeinkentucky.org website. If possible, please send your map and clues electronically to the Kentucky Environmental Education Council.
