This workshop is a chance to see our local parks in a different way. Nature walks can help us be present in our daily lives. By taking a moment to notice how environments need each individual organism to fulfill its purpose for the ecosystem to thrive, we can see how our actions impact the local ecosystem we interact with daily.

Space is limited for this event; registration is required. Registration will open two weeks before the event, on Thursday, July 25.
