Poles and Plants
A guided educational hike focusing on proper hiking pole usage and local plant identification.
Join us for an educational hike about plants and hiking poles! During this hike you’ll join TLC Trail Guide, Nancy, to learn how and when to set the length of your poles, the most efficient way to grip your poles, and how to decide what features you want in your hiking poles. Along the way, TLC Trail Guide, Dale, will point out local tree and plant species you will see throughout the preserve. This is a great hike to build on both your hiking pole and plant ID skills! This will be a moderate 2-3 mile hike over variable terrain, stopping periodically for educational moments. Another big thank you to Great Outdoor Provision Company and LEKI for letting us borrow poles for you to try, but if you have a pair already, please bring them! This is a free event, but preregistration is required . If registration for this event is full, please fill out our waitlist form here , by September 24th at noon.
