Have fun with your family as you discover and share the world of nature through special Passport to Nature (PTN) programs. Passport To Nature programs are specially designed for family interaction. For every PTN program you and your children attend you will receive a stamp in the matching park box. When you have received a stamp from eight different parks your Passport is complete and can be mailed to the Five Rivers MetroParks office for your prize.

Passport to Nature logoEvery child who completes a Passport with a stamp from eight different parks will become an official MetroParks Nature Traveler and will receive a special nature traveler backpack. Children completing additional Passports will receive a nature discovery tool for the second, third and fourth Passports. There is no time limit on completing a Passport, so you can enjoy Passport To Nature activities at your own pace.

How it Works

When eight of the boxes in your Passport are stamped, fill in the requested information and mail your passport to:

Five Rivers MetroParks
c/o Passport to Nature
1375 E. Siebenthaler Ave.
Dayton, Ohio 45414

To find out which activities are Passport to Nature programs, just look for the PTN symbol in the back section of ParkWays or when registering for programs on our website.
