Please read the following carefully before signing up for a tour. Taking time to plan appropriately will make your experience much more enjoyable. Thank you.
Reservations, Confirmations, & Punctuality
Making a reservation by phone (preferred) or email for attendance for a tour should be made at least 24 hours in advance, so that we may properly accommodate for the group's size. Kindly phone 347-359-8094. We have found that phoning allows us to communicate with you directly and offer better service.
Call to confirm or cancel your reservation the evening before the tour. It's necessary to plan appropriately and occasionally walks must be canceled due to weather.
Please do everything within your abilities to arrive at tours a little early or on time and prepared. This will help to ensure that everyone will have the best possible experience. If you are going to be late, please contact us by phone as soon as possible and we will do our absolute best to accommodate.

What to wear
Be sure to listen to the weather forecast for the day of the tour and to dress
appropriately. For cooler weather, bring an extra layer such as a
thermal shirt or sweater. We recommend wearing loose fitting long pants and a long sleeve shirt. For sunnier and warmer days, bring a hat to cover yourself from the sun and/or sunglasses.
Please wear appropriate shoes for being outdoors. Wearing boots, hiking shoes or waterproof shoes or comfortable sneakers is recommended. It is not recommended to wear sandals. You may want to bring them as an EXTRA pair of shoes for coastal areas and the beach but not as your main footwear.

What to bring
Tours generally last about 3 hours. Please bring plenty of drinking water, a bagged lunch, and/or snacks. Most tour sites do have locations for buying food, drinks, and snacks if you forget. Also suggested is a camera for taking pictures. A notepad may be desirable. During the summer season, bug spray or insect repellant is also recommended.
All Ages
Our tours can be customized to suit people of all ages, without exception.
Children of all ages are welcomed and encouraged to come on tours. Being exposed to natural areas at an early age can be fun, rewarding, and exciting. It will help to educate children regarding the environment and inspire their love of the planet. We are happy to make arrangements for youth groups and birthday parties.
We facilitate tours for seniors, individually, as well as for Senior Centers and Friendship Clubs.
These tours emphasize a gentle pace and paths to follow.
