Hike and Chill Event Recap
Over 50 people from across the Triangle attend the Hike and Chill Event at Walnut Creek Wetland Park on Saturday, September 20. The event offered community building, connection with people and nature, and exploration of the wetland and trail. In a 2 mile walk on the Walnut Creek Trail, participants learned about wetlands, pollution, stormwater, wellness, and environmental justice.

Hike and Chill September 2025
How It Started
Let's Get Social Raleigh leads with people and wellness in mind. They offer monthly nature walks and other events to bring people together, make connections, and build a network rooted in community.
Partners for Environmental Justice provides environmental history in Southeast Raleigh and insightful knowledge about the importance of Walnut Creek watershed and wetland, water quality impacts, and community action in environmental justice.
Raleigh Stormwater offers projects and educational opportunities that makes green stormwater infrastructure, like wetlands and rain gardens, both a water quality and community engagement benefit.
Collaborating on the Hike and Chill event created an opportunity for people to network, learn about the community around Walnut Creek, and find ways to get involved in protecting local waterways. We hope to host more events like the hike and chill in the future for more to attend!
