Walking in forest environments can help reduce stress, improve mood, and support overall well-being while connecting with others in a welcoming group setting.

To ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment, these outings may not be suitable for individuals who experience mobility challenges on uneven outdoor surfaces.
Walks are weather dependent. Should a walk have to be canceled due to inclement weather, you will be notified.
