Meet a Greenspace: New Hiking Event Series with the Greenspace Alliance

Our lives can pull us from the places and experiences that ground and restore us.  Too often, we uncouple ourselves from the many forms of nature and mindlessly meander through our days: hopping from one meeting to another, rushing through the motions of life, jobs, hobbies, just to check another task off the to-do list.  

For those of us working either directly or indirectly in environmental conservation fields, this feeling can be amplified and lead to an internal abyss full of restlessness and disconnectedness. 

Sound familiar? Add our Meet a Greenspace Hike Series to your calendar!

This hiking series will take place once a month and explore both protected and unprotected greenspaces across the region. There is no agenda or plan of action other to reconnect to nature, ourselves, and each other.  

Each month, we will explore a different area, ranging from our greenspace gems to urban strolls.  They will last for one hour and are open to anyone and everyone interested.  

We hope that these hikes will provide time and space to reconnect with nature. Hikes will be posted on our Events Calendar with links to the month’s location (please look at the locations’ website for accessibility information). If you have any questions, contact Green Umbrella’s Greenspace Alliance Manager Claire Carlson at claire@greenumbrella.org. We’ll see you on the trails!
