Trail Ambassadors Lead Fall Walks In The Wissahickon Watershed
|
|
The Friends of the Wissahickon are offering free nature walks in Wissahickon Valley Park this fall led by FOW Trail Ambassadors.
The Trail Ambassador program was launched in 2008 in partnership with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. These volunteers share their knowledge of the Wissahickon with park users after completing an eight-week training course which covers Wissahickon history, watersheds, current park projects, wildlife, geology, plants, park rules and regulations, and first aid/CPR.
Their primary role is to provide information to park visitors about Wissahickon Valley Park and report any problems they see to Fairmount Park Rangers.
Trail Ambassador Walks last up to two hours. Unless otherwise specified, these hikes use rocky, rugged trails that may be wet, slipper, or steep. Please bring water and snacks if desired. Children over six are welcome if accompanied by an adult, unless otherwise specified. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain or icy conditions.
Visit the Friends of the Wissahickon website for a complete schedule.
