This summer, we have organized 12 hikes with Rise and Shine scholars and have completed 4 of them. John and I love spending time in the woods with them. The volunteers who help make this possible bring an amazing variety of talents to each hike and make each unique. We hope, by connecting the hikers to trails in their neighborhood, they will continue to explore them after our organized hikes are finished. We hope they will connect with nature during these outings and develop a love for conserving our amazing surroundings. We can always use more volunteers. If you are interested in helping, let us know. We hike every Monday and Wednesday from 1 – 4 pm through July 1st.
