Come walk with us! Register to below. Registration is helpful but not required, and walk-ins are encouraged! 

Preparing for your walk

  • Once you’ve registered for the walk, you’ll get an email with information for planning and preparation.
  • Walks begin at 10am.  Please plan to arrive 5 - 10 minutes early.
  • Walks are generally 1.5 hours, so bring any water, snacks, appropriate clothing for the time of year, and other preparations to be outside for that amount of time. 
  • Comfortable footwear is important.  Boots walking sticks/poles are encouraged, and items such as bug spray or sunscreen. Do frequent tick checks!
  • During hunting season, we encourage wearing orange for additional safety. 
  • It’s always a good idea to have snacks and water with you and bring binoculars if you have them!
  • Well behaved, leashed dogs welcomed as well.
