Open Group Walk

Atlantic Coast • Woodland Trails • Tidal Flats

Looking to get outside, meet new people, and enjoy nature together?

Our Open Group Nature Walks are designed for individuals, couples, families, and anyone who simply wants to join a welcoming outdoor experience. These walks are perfect for those who don’t mind sharing the trail with new faces and appreciate the energy of a small community exploring together.

Choose from three beautiful landscapes:

Atlantic Coast Dune Walks

Walk along sandy shores and coastal paths while learning about dune grasses, shorebirds, and the power of wind and tide. Expect ocean views, fresh air, and wide-open spaces.

Woodland Walks

Explore shaded forest trails beneath pine and oak. We’ll look for seasonal plants, mushrooms, animal tracks, and signs of changing seasons as we move at a comfortable group pace.

Tidal Flats Walks

Discover the fascinating life between land and sea. Observe shells, crabs, seaweed, and shifting sandbars while learning how tides shape this ever-changing ecosystem.

What to Expect

• Moderate distances (typically 1–2+ miles depending on route)

• Mixed terrain including sand, roots, light hills, and occasional mud

• A relaxed but steady walking pace

• Naturalist-led interpretation and group discussion

• A friendly, welcoming atmosphere

Children are welcome on Open Group Walks, and families are encouraged to join. We ask that young participants be comfortable walking the planned distance and staying with the group.

A Shared Outdoor Experience

These walks are a wonderful opportunity to:

• Meet like-minded nature enthusiasts

• Connect with neighbors and visitors

• Learn together in an informal setting

• Spend meaningful time outdoors

Whether you come alone or with others, you’ll leave having shared the trail, the conversation, and the experience.
