You will be leading a group of 10-20 seniors on nature walks in parks such as Alum Rock Park, Ulistac Natural Area, Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve and Guadalupe Oak Grove Park. We will train you on how to lead a nature walk.
We've partnered up with Steps for Change (a program for seniors that encourages healthy living) to provide seniors with high-quality nature walks.
SBN's initial goal is 12 walks in 12 months. We do this to encourage seniors to get outdoors and hike for their health. We introduce them to different parks throughout Santa Clara County interpreting various environmental themes along the way. We've learned that by going as a group, seniors feel safer, and are more likely to return on their own.
By promoting healthful behaviors, we're helping seniors do their best to remain active and healthy the rest of their lives.
We're meeting the 3rd Tuesday every month 10:00am - 12:00pm and encourage carpooling.
