New Friends Wildlife Stroll - Sunday Morning

About this event

*** A huge share of our walking friends DO NOT come from Meetup, so the number RSVPs here may not reflect how many of us are coming ***

Meet new people with an easy stroll on a paved trail.

Our wildlife strolls on Salmon Creek Trail allow for longer conversations, as well as chances to see all sorts of wildlife.

We'll visit Turtle Pond and continue a ways down the trail before turning around.

At the end we'll often offer an optional extension to the eagle nest and Klineline Park (to check for otters).

All fitness levels and walking speeds are welcome! In fact, we want a full mix, with slow walkers, fast walkers, and people in between!

All ages are welcome too! (Participants under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian along.)

Bring your furry family members as well! We’ve enjoyed meeting new friends’ dogs, and ur friend Erwin has brought his two special-needs kittens in a stroller. They’re adorable!

We'll be very glad to meet you! Come on your own, or bring as many friends or family members as you like!

Our group is kind, friendly, mellow, and welcoming!

You never know what animals you'll see on Salmon Creek Trail.

Over the years, we've seen: River otters Beavers Muskrats Nutrias (including babies and Albus the albino nutria) Mink Weasels Turtles (so many turtles) Frogs Gray herons Green herons Great white egrets Cormorants (on the pilings at Klineline Pond) Belted kingfishers Tree Swallows Wood ducks Nesting bald eagles (with their babies) Osprey Hawks Barred owls Merlins Redwing blackbirds Cedar waxwings Humming birds Grosbeaks Bats Rabbits

We'll meet at the trailhead by the softball-field restrooms. Just type "Vancouver Girls' Softball Association" or “VGSA” into Google or Apple Maps.

If you have questions or would like to get in touch for any reason, feel free to send me a DM here on Meetup.

This is a joint event co-hosted with Meet Me in the Couve: Nature & New Friends.
