Lead a Nature Walk
Do you have good generalized knowledge of local flora and/or
fauna? Would you like to share that knowledge with others
and meet interesting people? If so, then please consider
leading one or more of the nature walks scheduled for a
different park each week, Tuesday evenings, 6:30-8:30pm, April through October, 2002.
These outings are free to the public and are sponsored by
the Western Pennsylvania Field Institute as opportunities
for folks to experience nature in the many great parks right
in their own backyards. In addition to sharing your knowledge
with others, your organization can choose to receive equal
billing in all nature walk listings.
If you would like to lead a short hike, showing folks the
birds, wildflowers and other wildlife along the way, please
contact Sean Brady
at (412) 255-0564. Personal specialties in birds, botany,
mushrooms, etc. welcome!
