AUTUMN WALKING IN NATURE WITH WILTON WILDLIFE PRESERVE & PARK (15)

Mondays, 1:30-3pm, October 5, 19, 26, November 2, 9, 16 (no hike on Oct 12, Columbus Day)

We invite you to immerse yourself in nature! Each session will be a unique adventure exploring different trails through the diverse habitats of the Saratoga Sand Plains and will include information on the flora and fauna of the habitats. Led by experienced naturalists, the walks are geared towards moderate exercise and basic/moderate fitness levels. Each week will cover mostly flat with some hilly terrain, covering distances averaging about 1.5-2 miles. Sessions will start at our Camp Saratoga North Trailhead (parking lot #1) to discuss the day’s plans before the walk. Please wear sturdy, closed toe shoes and layered clothing, in addition to bringing any snacks and water. Regular walkers and experienced hikers should not have an issue. Hiking poles are encouraged as they provide additional support. Come join us!
