Learning from the Land, in the City

Update: stay posted for details of our upcoming winter walk, to be held in January 2020. We'll hear all about energy and the cosmos! What about the fall walk? Due to volunteer availability and other great community events this fall, like the Climate Strikes and CCEDNET Gathering, we chose to postpone the fall walk. Hope to see you all soon!
