Event details

Give thanks and give back this Thanksgiving season! Hike Four Rivers’ forested areas while you rediscover the many gifts the forest gives us and maybe learn something new. Then spend some time giving back by removing invasive honeysuckle. The program will end with time to reflect while enjoying warm cocoa, tea or cider.
