Sensitive Wildlife Habitat - No Dogs.


Join Washington Naturalist, DHC Board member and member of the Education Committee, Rick Severn as he leads you through the forest of the Wilson Conservation Area in search of stories the trees could tell. You'll look at stumps, snags, logs, and the living trees along our education trail. Bring your imaginations and good walking shoes. Dress for the weather, layers are recommended. Along the way you will expand and enrich your time in nature while getting a good dose of Vitamin N. (N is for nature). 

This is a slow-paced saunter. We will cover 2.2 miles with a moderate slope. Naturalist John Muir's saunters lead him to his deep understanding of the natural world and his lifelong advocacy for its protection.

When: Sunday, November 3 at 10 am. 

Why: Our focus today is to expand our understanding of some of the life stories we will encounter on our saunter. A hike has a destination, A saunter is the destination.
