River Walks: A Walking Tour of Our Connections with Water

Join us for a 1.5-hour walking tour of the waterfront at Barker’s Island. On tour, you will learn about the various ways our connections with water support our well-being, through brief immersive experiences including exploring the history of the island, observing wildlife or birds, a sensory awareness exercise, exploring estuary-inspired art and poetry, and sampling foods from the estuary. Along the way, you will hear about how our various identities influence how we connect with the water, based on results of the recent Waterway Benefits Survey. There will be additional time for questions at the end. The tour will be <1 mile and will be wheelchair accessible.
