    Now through October, walkers can continue exploring Cleveland
    Metroparks 2011 Walking Works designated trails and keep working
    towards this year's Walking Works shield.



     



    With Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works program, participants
    hike at least eight of 13 designated trails on their own or in a
    group through October  -  it's fun and easy.  After
    completing each walk, date the Walking Works form. Complete at
    least eight walks and return the form to Cleveland Metroparks to
    receive this year's Walking Works walking stick shield. Walkers can
    display the shield on their own walking sticks or purchase a
    Walking Works walking stick at any of the three EarthWords Nature
    Shops in Cleveland Metroparks.  



     



    This year, take an easy hike in Bedford, Big Creek,
    GarfieldPark, Huntington, Mill Stream Run, and Rocky River
    reservations. Moderate walkers can hit the trails in Brookside,
    Hinckley, North Chagrin, Ohio & Erie Canal, and South Chagrin
    reservations. Those looking for a more challenging hike will
    appreciate the hike in Brecksville Reservation.



     



    If preferring to walk with others while learning about the
    natural features of the trails, naturalist-led hikes along some of
    the designated trails are available through October. July's
    naturalist-led hikes include:
