Walks in the Woods

Our popular Wednesday-night walks in the woods run from June through September, visiting a different regional park each week. Docents familiar with the parks and their neighborhoods provide a tour that touches on the history, ecology, and improvements to the parks over the years. 

We are always looking for volunteers to lead walks! If you are interested in being trained as a park docent, contact Melissa McMasters at the Parks Conservancy at 412-682-7275, ext. 214.

Walks will take place on the first four Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. and will last about an hour.  Come ready to walk and learn about the parks!
