Sycamore Simon is our honorary Ground Squirrel Park Ranger at Sycamore Grove!
As one of the Rangers, Simon helps keep the park safe, clean, and fun for all the guests and wildlife.
Simon has also been given the task of protecting the Golden Acorn.
Every month, Simon likes to hide the Golden Acorn in a new location around the park and will leave clues for visitors who enjoy a challenge.
Check back here monthly for a new riddle from Sycamore Simon, and see if you can complete his challenge!
July Ranger Riddle
A place to go to hide in the park
Crawl inside and it’s slightly dark
Only the brave will find the way
Where hobbits and the Golden Acorn stay
