The trails are mostly flat and easy to walk, however if we search for Bobolinks there is a hill that is about 0.5 miles. Millennium Park usually has water & portapotties near the athletic fields. Wear waterproof shoes and bring water, hats/sunblock and insect repellent.
The walk is free but all participants must pre-register by emailing cgeorge@massaudubon.org and copying neil.calabro1@mac.com. Please note that participants must be at least 13 years of age.
