Did you get outside more often during the pandemic in 2020? Did you walk local trails? Discover trails you hadn't known about – such as Westborough's Charm Bracelet trail or the Boroughs Loop Trail? Spend more time watching your birdfeeder? The doldrums of the pandemic prompted many of us to seek out nature, or explore our local natural environment, more than we'd done in the past.

Now it's a new year. Remind yourself who's out there by taking WCLT's annual Nature Notes quiz featuring local wild animals and plants from last year. And check out our 280 Nature Notes columns.

Choose your answers from the drop down lists. Check your answers by clicking the "Show Answers" button. The answer page will contain links to the 2020 “Nature Notes” columns so you can re-read them as a way of preparing to enjoy nature in 2021.
