The Genesee Land Trust has several walks planned for Wayne County and surrounding areas. It’s a chance for a casual hike outdoors in the fresh air surrounded by the beautiful colors of fall. Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood, and boost feelings of happiness and wellbeing and even improve focus. Spending time in nature, looking at plants, water, birds and other aspects of nature gives the cognitive portion of our brain a break, allowing us to focus better and renew our ability to be patient.

Each walk is limited to fifteen people so pre-registration is required.
