With Wildlands Conservancy as your guide, you’ll join a community of hikers and walkers who are eager to explore. Together, you’ll discover local nature preserves, pocket parks, mountain vistas, open green spaces, and historical areas within and throughout the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos.

Get Out for Wellness is on my list of favorite activities.

Even though I have lived in the Lehigh Valley my whole life, it helps me find new places to explore. The guides love nature and people, and it always shows. We spot animals and plants and discuss and share our knowledge and wonder with each other. Everyone is made to feel welcome, and everyone comes away with a smile on their face.

The educators who lead the walks and hikes are great.

The events are rarely canceled because of the weather. The group is fun and noncompetitive. Get Out For Wellness has made it possible for me to enjoy some very special places and experiences.
