Event Details

Interested in getting on the water and learning about hydropower? Or want to take a walk through the woods and learn more about land conservation?


Join WEN Carolinas for an outdoor adventure at the beautiful Latta Nature Preserve on Saturday, August 16th!


Attendees will have the opportunity to sign up for one guided activity -- kayaking or a nature hike. Each session will explore the theme of energy in nature -- with kayaking focused on hydropower and water conservation, and hiking centered on sustainable land use and conservation initiatives at the Latta Nature Preserve.


Both tours will kick off at 10 AM, so please plan to arrive by 9:30 AM. We will meet and end at Shelter 3 (reserved picnic area located near the Old Nature Center). Afterwards we'll re-hydrate, swap summer stories, and grab some WEN merch!


Please note that the hike has a max capacity of 15 participants and the kayaking has a max capacity of 10 participants. This event is free and available for WEN members only, so early registration is encouraged!
