SAVE THE DATE! The 3rd annual Walk to Nature is August 29th 2015. Stay tuned for details!

Mother Nature tried, but there was no rain on our parade! While is poured outside we celebrated with Walk to Nature activities, music, food, and amazing friends inside the Nevin Center. Thanks for a fantastic day of fun everyone, we are already excited for next years event!

WOW! What an amazing event Walk to Nature 2014 was! Thank you so much to all the families, volunteers, and partner agencies that came out despite the pouring rain! We had an amazing time doing activities, dancing, and sharing delicious burritos with you all!

For the nature lovers who love the feel of rain on their face, come by the YES office at 3029 Macdonald Ave. anytime today to pick up a free rain poncho! (Sorry, we only have human ponchos available:)

If you wake up tomorrow and rain is falling, enjoy your morning and then come join us at 11:00AM inside the Nevin Community Center located at 598 Nevin Ave. in Richmond.

The same park activities and Chipotle lunch will be happening inside with stage performances, live music, the Get Your Summer On! Campaign, free t-shirts, water bottles, and so much more. If the weather clears in the afternoon, we'll go outdoors to Zumba and welcome back the sun.

Rain, rain go away! Despite our finger crossing, prayers, and sun dances, it looks like Mother Nature has other intentions for the weather tomorrow. But don't fear! Walk to Nature is still happening - just in a slightly revised way. Check out the next post for the updated plan

The Walk to Nature shirts have arrived! Everyone who participates on Saturday gets a free shirt!

Who is so excited for Saturday to get here? We are! Light rain showers are in the forecast so dress appropriately. If it’s raining significantly, participants are invited to go to the Nevin Center at 11am for activities and lunch!

Either way, we'll see you Saturday!

Thanks to Mary Roscoe and the Children and Nature Collaborative for spreading the word about Walk to Nature in their latest newsletter. This is a tremendous resource that highlights all the great programs, people, and movements in the Bay Area that are bringing our communities closure to nature.
