Hello fans of Easy Walks and Paddles in Milwaukee!
Now that Spring is here, a calendar of Walks, Rolls and Paddles is emerging. "Bog Slogs" are new storytelling opportunities for Karen Lemke, aka the Bog Witch, to talk about wetland and cultural ecology in bogs and other wetland systems throughout the upper midwest. Most of these events are free, and we ask you to complete a rsvp reservation when applicable in case we need to cancel/reschedule due to weather.
You can purchase a copy of the Easy Walks and Paddles in Milwaukee book at fine bookstores throughout Milwaukee including Boswell Books, MJ's Apothecary and Gifts, the Milwaukee Mitchell Park Domes, Historic Milwaukee Inc Bookstore, Lion's Tooth Bookstore, Milwaukee Kayak Company, the Amtrak Intermodal Station Travel Mart, Outpost Co-op, Woodland Pattern Bookstore as well as the e-book on Amazon. We will also be selling books at events like the WalkEE Way Fashion show and the Wellness Body Mind Spirit Expo.
