This online talk is part of a new series of speaker events hosted by Skagit Land Trust. Please RSVP to secure your spot! Zoom access information will be emailed to registrants shortly before the meeting.
About the Talk:
Whidbey, Fidalgo and Guemes Island offer great places to explore with bluffs and beaches, forests and fields, wetlands, wildflower walks and lovely lakes. This Zoom presentation, "Hiking Close to Home" will introduce a bunch of Jack's favorite hikes in our area. We will also discuss hikes that community members can take on Skagit Land Trust properties!
If you live in the area, consider also joining us for an in-person hike to view Camas on Guemes Mountain with Jack Hartt a few days later, on May 18th.!
