(MD) (Nature Forward)
With official winter waiting in the wings, we’ll wrap up our fall series of walks along parts of the C&O Canal which see less foot and bicycle traffic midweek. Our focus will be the general—and exceedingly rich—natural history of the varied habitats along the Potomac River and the historic Towpath. We’ll proceed at a “naturalist’s shuffle” pace, stopping often to observe and ID still-active wildlife, plants of the season—and whatever we might find. A series of similar bi-weekly Winter Walks Along the Canal will begin in January.
