Wednesday Walks

Michelle leading a Wednesday Walk

 

Wednesday Noon Walks:

Nature is known to be unpredictable and unexpected, so what awaits us today? Christa, The Arboretum's Naturalist Intern, will be leading 1 hour long walks every Wednesday. Walks start at The Arboretum kiosk at the Campus entrance to the Arboretum at 12:15pm, every Wednesday.

For more information contact Christa at arb.naturalist@uoguelph.ca or ext. 53615.

Please note that the hike may be cancelled if there is inclement weather. Cancellations are posted on our social media pages.

We kindly ask that walk participants follow the current University Covid protocols.

 

Wednesday Evening Walks:

In addition to Wednesday Noon Walks, our Summer Naturalist, Aleks, will be leading themed evening walks every Wednesday beginning on June 7th, until the end of August. These one and a half hour walks begin at the J. C. Taylor Nature Center at 7:00 PM, towards the east side of The Arboretum. These walks are adapted for all ages and knowledge levels. A donation of $2 is suggested for participants, children under 5 years old are free.

For more information contact Aleks at amell@uoguelph.ca.

Please note that the walk may be cancelled if there is inclement weather. Cancellations are posted on our social media pages.

We kindly ask that walk participants follow the current University Covid protocols.

 

Virtual Walks:

In the past, when we were unable to run in-person walks, we offered walks in a virtual format. Our Wednesday Walk videos can be found below, or go on our YouTube channel to check them all out.
