When

June 14, 2026. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Through history, people have utilized plants to survive, out of which have come special relationships. On this 45-minute walk we will use our senses to relate to and appreciate the textures and aromas of some favorite forest species. We will also be listening in on their expressions of energy. The walk is about 0.75 miles over moderately level ground with some steeper inclines. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
