Guided Walk at Darden Towe Park

Join Tree Steward Kathy Nepote for a leisurely walk adjacent to the Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center with its historic replicas along the sunny and shady gently sloping grassy and wooded areas.

Ancient Osage Orange trees, historic Monticello Tulip Tree, ash tree devastation due to the emerald ash borer, and common riparian buffer deciduous and conifer trees make this site unique in Charlottesville. Come join us for a leisurely walk adjacent to the Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center with its historic replicas. At the park entrance (pond in front), turn right and take the road to the end near the Pavillion. Park in the lot adjacent to the Pavillion and the Dog Park. The walk will start at the lot where we will look at the trees planted by members of the CATS Tree Steward Classes. From there we will walk down (relatively steep slope) to the Center and then along the Rivanna. Duration: 90 minutes to 2 hrs.
