Winter Solstice Walk

Duke Farms

Celebrate the sun's return with an expedition to find all the life it still sustains.

<p>Depending on your outlook, the winter solstice is either the longest, darkest night of the year—or a threshold to brighter days ahead. But let's save the philosophy for nightfall and make the most of the daylight we do have. After all, even on the shortest day of the year, there's still photosynthesis to get on with, food to scrounge up, shelter to seek, and (for us humans) a quiet continuity of wintertime life to get out there and find.</p><p>This program will take place entirely outdoors. Please dress for the weather. Participants will travel about 2 miles on paved, gravel, and dirt surfaces.</p><p>Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center for check-in. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start of class. We cannot accommodate late arrivals and the class will depart on time.</p>
