It’s National Take a Hike Day, and what better way to kick off your week than hitting the trails? Ruffner Mountain is one of our favorites for a fall hike; with 11 miles of scenic forested trails, stone relics of its mining history, and a nature center (which is temporarily closed for improvements- it should reopen soon!), Ruffner offers a range of opportunities for you and your leashed pup to bask in nature. Our Red Rock Action Plan (RRAP) will eventually connect Ruffer Mountain to Flora Johnst

Stella (Director of Programs and Community Partnerships) and Sloan (Volunteer Coordinator) demonstrate what to do when encountering a snake on the trails. They allowed this beautiful venomous Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) to safely cross the path before crossing themselves. Here, everyone remains safe and goes on with their day without incident. Snakes are not aggressive, nor do they chase people. They simply want space. All snakes, including venomous ones, are necessary and beneficial mem
