Are you interested in working with those age 50+?  Would you like to be part of a groundbreaking nature immersion program in Tyson’s?  For the fall, we need 3 or 4 members to assist the Arbor Row Center Manager with two-four Nature Walks.  Volunteers will help keep hikers on-path and with the group.  In the Spring, Arbor Row Center will need volunteers to support an 8 week Walking Challenge.  We are also soliciting ideas and members who can offer nature themed events or presentations beginning in 2026.  Please contact marilynanneparks@gmail.com or Jo at  120411tigre@gmail.com for more information.
