Women's Walk in the woods (learning from each other)

This is a monthly opportunity to go on a hike in the woods with "the girls" and learn from each other.  Location will usually be Iowisota (but might vary over time). Topic will be dependent on what is currently happening in the forest, and what participants are interested in. The format will be informal, so that we can all learn from each other and enjoy a chance to be out together in nature.  We'll probably spend up to two hours on a hike but can vary the time depending on participants interest and schedule. We'll try to keep our group to under 15 people. There is no charge.

For this November walk, we will probably hike up to the top of the south bluff on a well-established trail. It is a 500' elevation change from the valley to the top of the bluff. The view from the top of the bluff is lovely, even if you do need to peek through the trees. You'll want to wear sturdy shoes and perhaps bring a walking stick and water bottle. This might be our last scheduled hike for the season, though we will have some other activities throughout the winter. We had planned this hike for November 3rd, but we got much-needed rain, so we rescheduled for November 10th.

Why a "women's" hike??  Linda has been involved in the Minnesota Womens Woodland Network (mnwwn.org) for many years, and learned the power and joy of women sharing knowledge of the outdoors with each other. We can capture a similar experience here. Don't worry men, there will be other opportunities when we'll welcome you.
