tethering: iteration 1

This experience is an interactive nature walk that will last approximately 75 minutes per group. In keeping with Covid protocols we ask that you wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart at all times. There are a few chairs and blankets located throughout the event, but there is a lot of standing and walking. Please know that there is a livestream of the event that will be displayed on the website and documented for archival purposes and for those who will be attending virtually. The weather will be cool so be sure to wear layers and comfy walking shoes. We will provide hand sanitizer at entrance/exit.

This experience takes place at sunset on Oct 31st and Nov 1st (be advised that Nov 1st is daylight savings!)
