The Wissahickon in March with Debbie Hoellein & Jim McClory
March 22 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Meet at Houston Playground
Join Debbie and Jim on their first hike of the Spring. There is no place like Wissahickon Valley Park to experience the beauty of this time of year. We’ll note the flora, including which flowers, both native and non-native, are blooming. We’ll look for changes in the wildlife also. Our approximately 4.2 mile hike will take us to both sides of the Wissahickon, passing through meadow and woods. We’ll see Courtesy Stable and visit places of historical interest including the Covered Bridge and WPA structures.
Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but no dogs except for service animals, please.
Distance: ~4 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
