Come along for a stroll on the beautiful wooded walking trails located at The Farley Center!

Please check the weather to dress accordingly and bring water as needed. Closed-toe shoes are suggested as we will be walking along dirt trails.
We will walk for approximately an hour, but if others feel up to it, we can extend our walk as necessary.

We will meet about 10 minutes before our walk at the picnic tables located near the BOWA (Bur Oak Welcoming Area) located to the right of the driveway as you pull in.
Please note, this is not a formal tour, but a casual walk throughout The Farley Center grounds.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!
