New Friends Wildlife Stroll - Sunday Morning

\\Please arrive a few minutes early. We'll be leaving on time. In case you don't make it in time to start out with us, text Josh, and we can make sure that we catch you for the second half of our walk, as we make our way back - 360-901-0905.\\

Meet new people with an easy stroll on a paved trail.

Our wildlife strolls on Salmon Creek Trail allow for longer conversations, as well as chances to see all sorts of wildlife.

We'll visit Turtle Pond and continue a ways down the trail before turning around.

At the end we'll often offer an optional extension to the eagle nest and Klineline Park (to check for otters).

All fitness levels and walking speeds are welcome! In fact, we want a full mix, with slow walkers, fast walkers, and people in between!

All ages are welcome too! (Participants under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian along.)

Bring your furry family members as well! We’ve enjoyed meeting new friends’ dogs, and ur friend Erwin has brought his two special-needs kittens in a stroller. They’re adorable!

We'll be very glad to meet you! Come on your own, or bring as many friends or family members as you like!

Our group is kind, friendly, mellow, and welcoming!
