The walk and presentation will start at 11 a.m. and last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours with ample time for discussion and meandering.

Please leave your pooches at home, this is a no-dogs event.

The outdoor portion will wrap up around 12:30 p.m. with a 30-minute window for the group to make its way to the aprés-walk starting at 1 p.m. at Rek’-lis Brewing. Come enjoy a local brew with your local land trust at Rek’-lis on Main St in Bethlehem. Catch up with old friends and meet new ones in your community over snacks and refreshments. All are free to come and go as needed. As always, you’re invited to stay for a sit-down meal after the event!
