MEDALLION MADNESS
On St. Patrick’s Day (Sunday, March 17th),150 limited edition Fircrest medallions will be hidden around our community of Fircrest.
Here’s how it works:
Look for the hidden “treasure” (medallion). You’ll find the hidden medallions in public areas around the City of Fircrest, including the Parks.
Once you find your medallion, check in at the appointed location and you will receive your prize, a “bag of gold” chocolate coins *
You will get to keep your medallion!
Be sure to post a photo of you and your medallion on social media with the #fircrestmedallionmadness
This event happens on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th).
Please do NOT keep more than ONE medallion. This is on the honor system. One medallion per person will allow others a chance to find one. 🙂
All the medallions have been numbered 1-150. One special number has been chosen in advance and this number will win the special prize donated by OPTIMUM Physical Therapy! You’ll find out if you have the special medallion once you arrive.
We will post updates on the number of medallions still in hiding. Keep looking until they are all found.
*Prizes must be redeemed before Monday, April 1, 2024. (no joke! 😉)
For any additional information, please contact Judy at Fircrest Parks & Rec.

What will volunteers be doing at the event?
While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the open spaces, forests, and parks in our local cities. Healthy ecosystems and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rainwater, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to create healthy forests and riparian zones, the work can include:

Removing invasive species of plants

Canadian Thistle
Himalayan Blackberry

Caring for existing and previous plantings

For your safety and comfort please bring:

Clothing that can get dirty
Long pants and sleeves
Sturdy shoes (closed toed shoes required, no sandals or flats)
Rain gear and warm layers (the event will happen rain or shine)
Full water bottle!

Youth Policy
Youth under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

What is a Conservation District?
Across the United States, nearly 3,000 Conservation Districts—almost one in every county—are helping local people to conserve land, water, forests, wildlife and related natural resources. Conservation Districts are non-regulatory, we’re here to help you implement best practices for conserving local natural resources, not to fine you for not using best practices.
Known in various parts of the country as “soil and water conservation districts,” “resource conservation districts,” “natural resource districts,” “land conservation committees” and similar names, we share a single mission: to coordinate assistance from all available sources—public and private, local, state and federal—in an effort to develop locally-driven solutions to natural resource concerns.
