The Task Force to Bring Back the Don leads interpretive walking tours of the valley in the spring, summer, and fall. Each walk highlights a different aspect of the valley. We will stop at various places in the valley to talk about our successes and the issues that concern us. Each walk lasts about 2 hours.
