2010 Winter Walks Planned!
The GLLT is pleased to be able to offer winter walks for the enjoyment of the community. Two of our docents will lead walks to investigate the winter landscape and examine the tracks and sign left by the critters. As with our summer program, no previous sign up is necessary. Please dress appropriately for the conditions and bring water and a snack. If the snow cover is deep, snowshoes will be very helpful. If inclement weather threatens please call the GLLT office 925-1056 to verify possible cancellation. Parking is available at all locations but carpooling is encouraged.
