Walks at the
Forest Ecology Preserve
Usually there is some kind of scheduled walks at the Forest Ecology Preserve. Check their website or call Jennifer Lolley at 334-707-6512 to find out when. The Preserve
is located on N. College Street just past the A.U. Fish ponds on the
right.
You can of course just walk the trails on your own any time the preserve is open. Currently that is from dawn to dusk 7 days a week.

General Tips for Walking:
- Find a friend to walk with, not only is it safer, but you are more likely to make the effort if you have arranged a walk with a friend.
- Take your dog for a walk, same benefits as walking with a human companion
- Wear comfortable shoes that support your feet.
- Take a bottle of water with you, especially during the summer, and stay hydrated.
- If you walk at night wear bright reflectors or lights to help drivers see you & always be careful to walk in safe areas and with a friend
