A scenic trek along the trails surrounding the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. Founded in 1965, the Schuylkill Center is one of the first urban environmental education centers in the country, with 365 acres of fields, forests, and streams in northwest Philadelphia. Participants will enjoy a beautiful course filled with mature tulip poplars, several ponds, oaks, beeches, and art installations.
