About this tour
This session covers Wilson Woods, a forest park bordering the city zoo, from its entrance to a clearing along the zoo's edge. You see how the park was laid out for public recreation in the early 20th century, then how completely the trees separate you from the rest of the city once inside. It is a longer nature session for anyone wanting a proper walk.
I keep a steady pace along the main paths, since the walk itself is the point rather than any single stop. Questions come naturally as we go, and I am happy to pause wherever the forest or a glimpse of the zoo catches your attention. A short note on the zoo's own visiting hours follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants a proper walk in nature without leaving the city limits. It also suits families interested in the zoo's history alongside the woods around it.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
