Winter is here! And it’s time once again to hike with your Friends and earn a hiking stick or medallion! This year, the park featured on the medallion is Highbanks Metro Park! We would like to extend our sincerest thanks, because they also helped us out and branded all of the walking sticks we have this year!

How do you earn a stick? Easy! Become a Friend of the Metro Parks at the $10 level or more, and walk all 18 winter hikes! Turn in your completed card (or email mameyer@metroparks.net) and we will set up a time for you to come pick up your stick! We will be having an end-of hike celebration at Blacklick Woods Golf Course on Sunday, February 27th from 11-3, and we hope to do all of our stick pick-ups there.
