Experience Old Town on an immersive, guided walking tour that brings together ecology, history, and community insight into one engaging experience. Led by local leaders in their fields, this interactive walk takes participants through a variety of natural areas and community spaces. Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water as they explore wildlife habitats, learn about native ecosystems and local history, and engage in hands-on activities such as species identification and environmental observation. Along the way, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how Old Town’s natural and cultural systems are connected, and leave with practical ideas for stewardship and meaningful community engagement.
Accessibility:
Participants should be aware that some portions of the route may include uneven terrain, natural trails, or slight inclines, which could present challenges for those with limited mobility. Attendees using wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers may encounter areas that require extra caution or assistance.
Starting Location:
Parking is on University Forest Rd, before the elementary school, on the right hand side. From here, we will access the paved trail, but there is an unpaved section prior to access. To access exclusively on the paved trail, the turnaround point near 137 Jefferson St is half a mile from the start; parking is limited.
Ending Location:
Same location as start, so no need to find transport back to your vehicle!
