Take time out to appreciate and celebrate the simple gifts of nature at Oxbow Regional Park . On an easy walk along the river, we'll focus on opening our senses and noticing how wildlife responds to the changing seasons. Then gather around the campfire circle and enjoy the "Thanksgiving Address" passed down and shared by the Iroquois Nation. This is a simple and moving way of expressing appreciation for our connections to nature. Hot drinks will be provided. There is no charge for this event but there is a fee to get into the part.
