Let's talk hiking with Wendy Wendy!

When we venture off the city sidewalks, into nature, we discover a whole naturally evolving world.

Our very own living, growing, and ever changing natural landscapes. What's the best part of these adventures, YOU don't have to maintain it, just walk in and enjoy different life cycles happening before your very eyes!

Some of the topics discussed will include safety, terrain ranging from easy to difficult, wildlife, why our climate is different, and a few more important points.

So let's mark our calendars for March 13, 2023! Don't be shy, and please bring a friend!

I look forward to sparking a new interest in you at VYC!
