Trailblazers Fitness Walk at Caldwell Woods

May 5: 10:00 AM12:00 PM

Join us for a walk in the woods while we work on our fitness. Getting outdoors is good for you!

See Caldwell Woods, Oxbow Prairie and Bunker Hill Flatwoods as we make our way north along the North Branch Bike Trail. It’s springtime so trees will be budding out and everything will be turning green again. Deer are often seen from the path as well.

Difficulty level: The walk will be on paved paths and move at a good pace. A short water break at the turnaround area will allow a few minutes rest before returning to the starting point.

Parking/Meeting location: The group meets near the warming shelter building near the parking lot located on Devon just east of Milwaukee Av.

Meet your volunteer guide: Diane has a lifelong interest in nature and has volunteered with the Forest Preserves of Cook County since 2019. Her particular area of focus is on native plants. As a certified seed collection leader she also collects and spreads native seeds in conjunction with the North Branch Restoration Project. As an avid hiker, she’s formed and led fitness hiking groups for 10+ years.

What to wear/bring: Water for hydration, sun protection, and good walking shoes are recommended. Bring a snack if you want one for the short break.
