Wonderful Wanderers
Wander around the La Crosse River Marsh or saunter in Hixon Forest with one of our nature teachers. This is not a lung buster or quad quivering hike; it’s a mindful walk about experiencing nature for folks of all ages and all abilities. If you never thought hiking was your thing but want to get outdoors, this FREE program with no registration needed is the way to go!
Meet at the south side/front door of The Nature Place on Fridays at 8 am.
