Ghost Flora

Delicate & nearly gone. Explore an AR scavenger hunt that brings threatened native plants & their place in our ecosystems back into view.

Ghost Flora is an interactive AR scavenger hunt that brings to life native plants of the Pacific Northwest—some long extinct, others on the brink of disappearing. Hidden throughout the Winter Lights Festival are illustrated markers that act as portals to lost and threatened ecosystems. When scanned with a phone, each ghost plant is brought to life in AR. Participants will learn about these delicate life forms and the vital roles they play—and in some cases, still play—in our local ecosystems. Collect them all to unlock a chance to win special prizes.
