**IMPORTANT EVENT DETAILS - UPDATES **

Due to inclement weather, the nature walk portion of this event has changed. We will hold all portions of the event starting at Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Center, including registration and nature walk start. 

We will hold one, shortened, condensed version of teh walk led by USFWS Ranger Nova Clarke for anyone who wanted to participate. The walk will have a delayed start of 10am to give the morning a little more time to warm up.

We will no longer meet at the 15th and Mahomies Playground at MLK, Jr. Square Park.

Please plan to arrive and park at the Cultural Center (3700 Blue Pkwy, KCMO) between 9:30am and 10am to register/check-in for the walk inside the building. The walk will be approximately 30 minutes long, arriving back at the Cultural Center at 10:30am, in time for free refreshments prior to the speaker program.

You do not need to participate in the nature walk to attend the event. The speaker portion of the program will begin at 11am at the Cultural Center. If you are only attending the speaker portion of the program, please arrive between  10:30 and 10:45am to register/check-in, enjoy free refreshments, and get seated before the speakers begin.

Each year we gather our partners and the Kansas City community for a walk that elicits listening, reflecting, and honoring the words of Dr. King. His words resonate with us today and we use a walk to highlight them because for many, nature is a place of peacefulness, awe, and inspiration. We hope the walk can be restorative and provide a serene tradition for Kansas Citians. This event is free and open to all. You are welcome to attend either the walk, the presentation, or both. 

Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. This event will take place rain or shine.
