Women's Walk
2025-07-26 10:00 - 11:30 | Pleasant Hill Preserve, 256-280 Pleasant Hill Rd, Scarborough, ME, 04074, United States
Come meet up with fellow women who enjoy the outdoors and have a desire to walk the wonderful open spaces Scarborough Land Trust has committed to preserving. Women are twice as likely as men to feel uncomfortable walking alone, so we created this monthly program to foster a fun and supportive community for women to walk together and get to know our preserves.
These walks average 60-90 mins in length with a leisurely pace as we observe the landscape and wildlife (migrating birds, wildflowers, etc). Bring binoculars or a camera if you are so inclined. Much of the terrain will be flat (either dirt or grass surfaces) but expect that there will brief uphill stretches, wood crossings for boggy areas, and some uneven ground (rocks, tree roots). Trails could be wet with dew or muddy if there have been recent rains, although we will postpone or reschedule if inclement weather is forecasted during the event itself. As always, we recommend wearing long pants, comfortable footwear, and sunscreen as appropriate.
Parking can be limited on good weather weekends, so if you are bringing a companion, please carpool.
Although most SLT properties are dog friendly, we ask that you not bring dogs to this event.
