2023 “People, Nature, Footpath” Educational Webinar Series

Each year during the last months of winter, we host an educational webinar series designed to help Trail users gain confidence in spending time on the Superior Hiking Trail, and knowledge about the natural history and ecology of the North Shore.

The webinars are free to attend. Registration is required, and attendees will need to sign up for a free Zoom account in order to attend. To support the Trail and help us cover the cost of producing this series, a donation of $25 is suggested.
