## About

A free, roughly half-hour guided walk at Riveredge Nature Center led by a membership representative. The group hears about Riveredge history and favorite places to explore, and the conversation follows whatever questions people bring. It is aimed at new members and anyone curious about joining, but all ages and abilities are welcome, so families with children can come along. Kids under 18 need an adult with them, and an all-terrain wheelchair can be reserved.
