What is Thanks to Nature?
Thanks to Nature is an opportunity to celebrate nature and give thanks for all it provides us. Whether you are thankful for nature’s resources, the beauty of the forest, or the health benefits it provides, join us for Thanks to Nature to share gratitude and be a part of a new holiday tradition.
This event includes a self-guided nature walk with on-trail interpretation and activity stations. Our CPAWS staff and partners will be on the trail with answers to your questions about nature, offer opportunities for reflection, and a chance to slow down and appreciate the beautiful nature around you.
Participants are welcome to join anytime between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM and can walk along the trail at your own pace. The selected trail is an accessible route that is approximately 1.3 kilometers long and perfect for all outdoor experience levels. A Hippocampe all-terrain wheelchair can be requested for use.
