• Williams Walkers

  The mission of the club is to give interested students and school employees an opportunity to explore natural areas. We will, to paraphrase Thoreau, travel a good deal in our area, and, it is hoped, approach the world with a sense of curiosity and wonder at the elements of it that, though nearby, may be insufficiently appreciated.

   

  The club is open to all students and school employees. Interested members will meet during club time to share experiences from past trips and make plans for future trips. Saunters will take place after school and should take about an hour. I expect to have saunters once a week at most. The first few will take place in the area such as Mamacoke Island, the arboretum, and other Conn. College properties, and the land around The Williams School athletic complex. Future trips may go to other places depending on the interests of participants.
