Letterboxing is a treasure hunt for the outdoors! This activity allows you to explore interesting locations and collect unique stamps which mark your visit. They also encourage you to learn something about a particular site along the way.
Letterboxing involves a plastic container hidden in some specific location with is a stamp and a stamp pad. A set of clues will help the visitor find that container. Once the box is found, the visitor uses the stamp to mark their visit to this letterbox site in their own, personal record notebook. Additionally, there is a record book in the letterbox container. The visitor uses their personal stamp to mark this record book, leaving a record of their visit in the letterbox.
Not only will the clues help guide you to the letterboxes located on a SLT preserve, they will also provide some interesting facts about the history, ecology, and geology of that property.
If you visit all letterboxes, your record notebook will have seven SLT stamps, all in different colored ink. Email a picture of your completed notebook, we will verify your visits and award you with a SLT patch!
