Community partners and residents from across the City of Richmond are coming together to host the first annual “Walk to Nature” event on Saturday, March 29th, 2014. The origin of the walk comes from several day outings that fiscal sponsor, Youth Enrichment Strategies, and partner, East Bay Regional Park District, have conducted over the years to introduce Richmond families to nearby regional parks in Richmond that can be accessed easily and affordably. The purpose of this year’s walk is to promote physical activity and good health while connecting with one’s community in nature. Participants will register at 9:00AM and depart from several locations in Richmond to arrive at Miller Knox Regional Shoreline in Pt. Richmond by 11:00 AM. Starting points and their distance to the Miller Knox Sea Gull picnic area (one way) currently include the following:
• Civic Center Plaza – 450 Civic Center Plaza – 3.6 miles
• Richmond Greenway—6th and Ohio—2.2 miles

Currently, public and nonprofit agencies and community residents are meeting weekly to define the various aspects of the hikes including logistics, food/activities, outreach, sponsorships, and volunteer recruitment. Participating agencies and sponsors include: Building Blocks for Kids, City of Richmond, Contra Costa Health Services, Coronado Y, CURME, East Bay Regional Park District, Human Rights Human Relations Committee, Kaiser HEAL Collaborative, KCRT, Lifelong-Brookside, Mechanics Bank, Richmond Police Activities League, Richmond Police Department, Richmond Sanitary Service, Richmond Spokes, Shields-Reid Neighborhood Council, Supervisor John Gioia, Urban Tilth, Weigh of Life, and YES.
