Stroll outdoors in a relaxed environment for learning something new with other nature enthusiasts (and bookish people). We'll meet to chat about what we've read and, weather permitting, go for a walk. Check out our Facebook group of updates and a reading list.
Join the club and get a discount at the Owl's Nest Gift Shop. We keep most Walking Book Club titles in stock.
Wandering Wildflower Walks
At the Great Plains Nature Center
Come explore the beauty of Kansas flora with us on a guided hike through Chisholm Creek Park! Join us on the last Thursday of each month at 6 PM, meeting at the GPNC stone sign.
During this leisurely one-mile walk, we'll discover what’s in bloom and highlight notable plants and trees along the way. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions, learn about native species, and enjoy the outdoors!
This event is free and requires no registration, but it is weather-dependent. Be sure to bring water, dress for the outdoors, and bring a journal if you'd like to take notes.
For questions, contact Bailey at bailey@gpnc.org. We hope to see you there!
