Vashon Land Trust, SEEDS (Social Ecology Education & Demonstration School), the Puget Sound Zen Center and Vashon Park District are joining forces this summer to provide three uniquely Vashon family (or not) nature walks.
Take advantage of any or all of these opportunities to get your family, whatever its size or shape, outdoors to explore. All walks are priced at $5 for children under 12, $10 for people 12 and older, and $20 for families, no matter the number in your family…within reason.
Saturday, June 21 – Walk on the Wild Side – Edibles – 10A-12P
Join renowned Island naturalist Erin Kenny as she leads a walk through Burton Woods foraging for edible and medicinal plants in “Nature’s Garden.” Best for walkers over age 12. Participation is limited to 20.
We had a full trail and a great time for Edibles. Sign up now for the July and August walks.
Saturday, July 19 – Walk on the Wild Side – Contemplative “Walking the Way” – 9:30A-1:00P
David Steel from the Puget Sound Zen Center will lead this very special walk through Vashon wildlands yet to be announced. Meet at the Park District parking lot and caravan to the trailhead. The path is you. Silence is encouraged. Participants will walk easily and relaxed through forest, meadow and possibly seashore with the intention of deepening connections to the island and each other.
