Leader: Stephanie Mason We’ll wrap up our fall series of walks along portions of the C&O Canal Towpath which see less foot and bicycle traffic during the week than on weekends. Our focus will be the general—and exceedingly rich--natural history of the varied habitats along the Potomac River and the historic Canal. We’ll proceed at a “naturalist’s shuffle” pace, stopping often to observe and ID still-active wildlife, plants of the season—and whatever we might find. A series of similar bi-weekly Winter Walks Along the Canal will start in January.
