We know you’ve been through a lot. We’d like to offer you the opportunity to get outside, explore nature, go for a walk, and inhale some nice, fresh air. So we bring you, Spartan Nature Walks. Our department tree experts are full of fun facts and will guide you throughout campus woodlots for some peace of mind.
 
Our walks take place the first Saturday of the month from 1-2PM in Baker Woodlot.
 
Please contact Lauren Noel if you have any questions. We hope you’ll join us.
