National Hiking Day—also known as National Take a Hike Day

Come help us explore somewhere new! We'll venture into Palmer Park to discover its natural features, look for native plant communities, and document the biodiversity we encounter.  And especially the Old Growth Forest there. This is an TRAILBLAZER, meaning-this is our first time here, so we'll be learning and discovering together!

A Note About Safety

WOWC Nature Explorers outings are informal outdoor activities, and participation is voluntary. Outdoor environments present inherent risks, including uneven terrain, changing weather, insects, ticks, and other natural hazards.

Participants are responsible for their own safety. Please assess your physical abilities and limitations, wear appropriate clothing and footwear, bring adequate water, and use your own judgment throughout the outing.

A TRAILBLAZER may involve unfamiliar trails, terrain, and less predictable conditions. Please participate only if you are comfortable with the nature of the outing.

By attending, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with outdoor recreational activities.

Please review our full Participant Safety & Responsibilities Guidelines before attending.
