Let our educators take your class on a guided walk through our safe and accessible trails. Every walk includes a series of stops where students will interact with nature and learn more about the topic.
Hikes are 1.5-3.3 km, depending upon route. Hiking routes are on unpaved grass or gravel trails with some hills. The hike will last 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on route and speed of walking. Let us know in advance if you or any of your group face challenges with hilly or uneven terrain so the trail can be adapted.
