TFN offers our members over 100 Guided Walks each year, led by knowledgeable volunteers who enjoy sharing their passion for nature. Walks happen year round, all days of the week, in all areas of the city, and cater to a wide range of comfort and fitness levels. A variety of themes are represented: nature & ecology, birding, history, geology, and many others. Members are always welcome to bring guests!
