Come out to the Selu Conservancy to celebrate American Hiking Society's National Trails Day! National Trails Day® is a time to connect with people near you who share your love of being outside. Trails connect us to nature and to each other and National Trails Day® is an incredible opportunity to experience that connection firsthand.
Listen to the birdsong, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the beauty of the trees, blooming flowers, and the natural world around you. There's nothing quite like being present in the outdoors. Feel free to hike, stroll, picnic, sit, reflect, or just be. There are 3.5 miles of wooded trails and 2.0 miles of gravel roads. Come and go as you like!
Join us for programming, including:
• A Beehive Demonstration
• Selu Scenery Watercolor Workshop
• Informational Tick Talks
• Guided Plant Hike
• Guided Yoga
• Arts & Crafts
• Volunteer Seed Packing
• Open Jam Session

This event is free and open to the public. All humans are welcome though pets must stay at home.
The special programming is provided by Radford University faculty and staff and friends of Selu. All supplies will be provided.
