Join us for a themed discussion and a walk in one of the Great Parks. Discussion topics will be targeted to teens and adults and will be led by Hamilton County Conservation District staff. Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library staff will offer children’s activities during the discussions. Then we’ll head outside for a walk in nature to learn more about the seasonal theme. Walks will be directed by Great Parks staff.

Please note: Listed books are just suggestions. You don’t have to read these specifically or any at all! Just join us to learn more about nature and enjoy some time outdoors.
Registration is not required. We recommended registration to help us prepare supplies.
