On the first Thursday of every month, a guided walk will be held in various designated neighborhoods around Hendersonville.  Location and time depends on the weather, guest guides, and the whim of our walkers.  To find out where we'll be, contact the local project manager Sam Lovelace at 864.457.6166, or www.walk-wise.org. Walks are open to everyone.  We invite you to come enjoy some healthy exercise, beautiful neighborhoods, and give us your input on future improvements to walking routes in the Hendersonville area.  Each walk is gentle, between 1 and 2 miles, and usually takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours.  Walks are cancelled in the event of severe weather.
