Bozeman Public Library is partnering with renowned wildlife guide Ken Sinay to begin a weekly Wednesday Walk during select evenings this summer. Everyone is welcome to join for these leisurely strolls around the local area. Events will start at the Library, walk out and back for a total of 60 minutes, approximately two miles max, and visit the local trails.
“The purpose of these walks is to introduce people to the trails and history and wildlife and flora of the local area,” according to Beth Boyson of Bozeman Public Library, “We hope to build community and welcome people who may be new to Bozeman or are unfamiliar with the trail system or may not have anyone to walk with.
There is no cost or registration required. Friendly suggestions for everyone attending – please arrive early, wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, bring something to drink, maybe use a camera and wear comfortable footwear. If it is pouring rain or lightning is nearby, the walk will be cancelled. Every walk will depart promptly at 5:30pm from the front plaza. Guests from local organizations such as GVLT and the Audubon Society will share their expertise during certain walks.
Upcoming Wednesday Walk schedule:
– July 10th: Gallagator Trail
– July 17th: Burke Park and Peets Hill
– July 24th and Aug. 14th: Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve
– July 31st: Lindley Park/Bogert Park and Lindley Place
– Aug. 7th: Sunset Hills Cemetery as a Wildlife Habitat
