Let's take a walk in the park! The next "Walk in the Woods" of summer 2007 is this week--Wednesday, August 1, 2007 at 6:30 pm. Meet at the restored fountain and gardens on Reservoir Drive near the intersection of North Highland Avenue and Bunkerhill Street. Please arrive promptly at 6:30 pm so we can begin the walk as scheduled. There is no need to RSVP. The current weather forecast looks nice--but hot. It would be a good idea to bring drinking water. When planning what to wear keep in mind that paths in the park can many times be uneven. If you plan to bring a baby, I suggest using something like a Baby Bjorn instead of a stroller. The exact route we take depends on who shows up. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy sponsors these walks in the four major Pittsburgh Parks. Each walk is led by volunteer docents who can tell you about what's going on in the park, park history, and can talk about the many different types of plants you'll see in the parks. The last walk in Highland Park for the summer is scheduled for September 16 at 4:00 pm. This walk will focus on park and area history. The schedule for the other parks is as follows: Frick: August 8 & September 9; Riverview: August 18 & September 23; and Schenley: August 22 & September 2. (The 2nd date in each case is also a special history walk.) If leading walks like this interests you, please let me know because docent opportunities are available.
