The next “Take a Hike” program will be Wednesday, June 4th at 6:00 pm in Florence featuring Julia Sigg, a local backpacker who hiked much of the Appalachian Trail.  Julia will share what she has learned through trial and error about the right gear and grub for longer day hikes and overnight hikes of varying length. 
 
The program will cover what to consider when choosing your gear and food for all types of hiking trips.  How to save money by making better educated gear selections right away.  Attendees are welcome to bring your back pack full of gear to be weighed and reviewed for helpful considerations on weight reduction strategies.  The night will end with a discussion about starting a local group interested in taking 6-10 mile training hikes on trails in our area.
 
Programs start at 6:00 pm in the lower level conference room at the Florence Natural Resource Center building located on the corner of US 2 and Highway 101/70 in Florence (5628 Forestry Drive).  There will not be a zoom link available for this program.

The Florence County monthly Outdoor Education programs are sponsored by the Friends of the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center and UW-Extension Florence County.  This event is open to the public and free of charge.
