The Watershed Walks Program is designed to train Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors to educate residents about the natural ecology of the Longfellow Creek Watershed. Camp Long Naturalist Jeanie Murphy-Ouellette and Feet First Volunteer Coordinator Darcy Edmunds will lead this training on how to effectively engage walking groups, what environmental threats affect our watersheds, and how individuals can reduce their impact on local ecologies. Participants will leave the workshop as a designated Neighborhood Walking Ambassador.

Feet First Executive Director Lisa Quinn said, “The Watershed Walks Program provides an enjoyable opportunity for people to learn about the relationship between their actions and a clean environment. Those who become Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors through this program will have the ability to share with their neighbors the natural environment in a different, more intimate way.”

WHAT: Training on how to lead engaging walks focused on the natural watershed environment of Longfellow Creek.
