Would you like to learn more about the Longfellow Creek Watershed and bring that message to your neighbors?

A free training designed to educate potential Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors is being conducted Saturday April 7. You'll learn how to take people on engaging walks focused on the natural environment in their community.

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.”
