These may include birds, lichen, history, poetry, book talk, spiritual, wellness, and other topics leaders are interested in covering.
Kate Borduas, a master naturalist and nationally certified trainer, will be offering a workshop on leading walks. The training will include about 45 minutes of classroom discussion followed by a 45-minute walk where participants will practice the skills they have learned. The sessions will be held at the library and offered on two different days and times. Training is not a pre-requisite to leading a walk.
Sign up for the training, or email Elsa at ERowe@scarboroughlibrary.org if you are interested in leading a walk.
