My Wissahickon Whoopsies: A Leave No Trace Hike with Rodi Steinig and Debra Brackett

March 30 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Meeting at Mt. Airy Trailhead Kiosk (see map here)
Join Trail Ambassadors Rodi and Debra to hear about some commonly-made mistakes in the Wissahickon. Rodi will share stories about the many rules she unwittingly broke in the past. Debra will share information about the impact of each of these mistakes. Together, we’ll enjoy a great hike in the woods and learn how to leave no trace.
Wear your mud boots—we’ll be walking through puddles if it’s damp. Why not walk around them? You’ll find out on this hike!
Children ages 9+ are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. No dogs except for service animals, please.
Distance: 2.5 miles
Difficulty Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Audience: Ages 9+
Parking: There is plenty of street parking nearby on W Mt. Airy Avenue and Mt. Airy Terrace.
Restrooms: No
