First Wednesday Walks
The Berkeley Path Wanderers Association
sponsors a series of walks that are
held on the first Wednesday of each month. These
walks begin at 10:00 a.m. and
are are usually about two hours in length.
Walks may focus in a variety of local
features and usually include points of
historical interest and may include references
to the flora and fauna of the area. Walks
are free and both members and non-members
are invited to participate.
