Traditionally, TFN has offered our Members over 140 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!
During the pandemic, as public health advisories allow, TFN continues to offer 6-9 Guided Walks per months to our Members following strong safety protocols and using an RSVP system to facilitate attendance limits and contact tracing. Sadly, we are unable to accommodate non-Members on our walks until these circumstances change.
In the meanwhile, however, we invite all Torontonians to take advantage our new Self-Guided Walks, which launched in January 2021! Check back often as new walks will be added ongoing!
