The Natural Lands Trust and REI outdoor recreational equipment are teaming up for an All Out 2017 hike at the NLT’s Stroud Preserve in West Chester, Chester County on January 28 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Hike scenic trails on your own or join a guided walk to learn about the history and wildlife of this iconic property. After the hike, enjoy sweet treats with Natural Lands Trust staff and volunteers.

REI’s All Out 2017 campaign is designed to inspire everyone to get outside. Natural Lands Trust’s Stroud Preserve highlights 571 acres of culturally and ecologically important land in Chester County.

This rolling mosaic of grasslands, woodlands, and working farmlands provides important habitat and resources for myriad birds and animals.

Access to open space encourages healthy activity and emotional well-being, builds community, provides clean water and air, and strengthens the economy—good for individuals, families, friends, and the region!

The Stroud Preserve is located at 454 North Creek Road, West Chester, PA 19382
