Join us for a relaxed perambulation, meet new friends and maybe even learn something new! The exact walk to be decided. We’ll try to go somewhere we haven’t been to in a while, and it will also depend on who shows up and what they’d like to do!
Bring gloves if you’d like to help pick up litter along the way.
The complete trip should be about 2 miles (3-4 km) and be on mostly flat level gravel trails. We may change the route depending on what people want to do. Meet at the Surrey Nature Centre parking lot (14335 Green Timbers Way, free) at 11 am. There is no need to register and there is no fee.
