Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, and Parks employees will provide formal and informal discussions or tours during the hikes. Some hikes may be more focused on taking a walk in the park, while others may be more informational.

Please note — this is not a hike. This is a "Horse of Course" program hosted by a Boston Park Ranger. Come meet one of the mounted units from our herd and learn about their role in the parks, and how they are cared for.
