In our small Adirondack town, community is important. That’s why we started our Free Weekly Walks. From May to October, we meet at the same trailhead every week. Together, we walk through the woods or up a mountain. The duration of the walk often varies. Some days we stop to identify fungi, trees, and flowers. Other times the group chats as we walk with few breaks. Each week we have a unique experience on the trail and we enjoy the changing seasons and weather. Join us to meet new people, clear your head, and enjoy this incredible protected land.
