Our Initiatives
Final Friday Forest Frolics
FREE meet ups held the last Friday of each month, March-September, starting at 6pm in a local greenspace. Locations change each month so if you have a favorite neighborhood trail we would love to hear about it! This is a family friendly gathering where we encourage all neighbors to enjoy a mild hike and learn about nature together in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Visit our calendar for specific locations and to RSVP.
Our Final Friday Forest Frolics are made possible through funding provided by Westwood Works.
