ACCESSIBILITY: The area around the Research & Education Center is ADA compliant, but the trails are gravel so not necessarily the easiest.  A wheelchair or scooter with all-terrain tires would probably be OK.

HYDRATION: Please bring your own water.

DOGS: Dogs welcome, but they MUST be on a leash, and you MUST scoop the poop!

WEATHER/CANCELLATION PLAN: We plan to walk rain or shine, so if it looks like rain, bring an umbrella. In the event that it is a terrible storm or something happens and we have to cancel, we will send out a note to the email list. To subscribe to the email list, click here: http://eepurl.com/cG7kdj.
