Thursdays, 10:30 a.m., Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center

We all know that exercise is good for your health, and research shows that it’s even better if you do it outdoors. It’s official! Spending time outside can improve your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. But winter often makes it harder.

Friends are here to help with weekly Winter Walks. Join Friends President Steve Herdman every Thursday beginning January 2 at 10:30 a.m. for a brisk walk on Pleasant Plains Road from the Visitor Center to the Bluebird Parking Lot – a round trip distance of about 2.5 miles.

Walk at your own pace, walk as far as you want, bring friends, your dog, your binoculars. Enjoy some exercise, fresh air, and good company. Join us. Let’s get outside!

Call the Visitor Center at 973-425-9510 for announcements of weather cancellations.
