About this Event
THIS HIKE IS CO-SPONSORED BY
A scenic hike is a great way to unwind and unplug. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker, this is the perfect trail to discover the serenity of the Greenway.
The trail we’ll blaze will be an easy 3-mile loop with small, crushed gravel terrain and minimal inclines/elevation changes. We'll introduce you to the ten essentials of hiking travel and the principles of Leave No Trace. All skill sets are welcome; however, children are not permitted on this hike for safety reasons.
This is a great opportunity to:
- Connect with other doulas, birth workers, and birth advocates in a casual setting
- Enjoy the beauty of nature and get some exercise
