Take a hike through the old-growth forest at Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest near Robbinsville at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, with Creation Care Alliance and MountainTrue.

 

This two-hour hike will be spent celebrating the beauty, spirituality and importance of these old forests, and learning more about their importance to the planet and how to protect them. The hike will also include time for prayer and spiritual practice. Afterward, the group will head to nearby Santeetlah Lake for a packed lunch and swimming.

Space is limited. Register at creationcarealliance.org/event.
