About us

All Those Who Wander*

A new name. More topics. More places to hike.

Following a merger of Newtown Square Trails & Greenways Committee with Parks & Rec, we decided to change our name to “All Those Who Wander” — with expanded locations and topics.

Where?
From parks in PA to bird preserves in Cape May, we’ll offer hikes with specific themes, knowledgeable guides, and interesting features along the way.

What topics?
Birds, bugs, plants, waterways, mulch and mushrooms, farmers markets, native trees, rock formations, herbs, food as medicine, stargazing, livestock, and lots of local history will fill our schedules.

We’ll collaborate!
Happy to work with National Parks, Historical Associations, Conservation Trusts, Sustainability and Environmental Groups, Birding Communities, and other mindful organizations that welcome hikers.

Join us!
Breathe fresh air. Get moving. Meet new friends. And hike around our precious little globe in the vast Milky Way. Together.

See you on the trails.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Riddle of Strider, The Fellowship of the Ring

Garrett Williamson Presents: A History Hike with Sarah Lerch
Sun, Mar 1 · 10:00 AM EST
Camp Garrett & Garrett Way, 395 Bishop Hollow Road, Newtown Square, PA, US
Join us on Sunday, March 1st at 10:00AM for a fascinating presentation by Sarah Lerch, Executive Director of the Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead, followed by a brisk hike around GW's gorgeous 240-acre property.

We'll meet in the ballroom of the Main Lodge for the presentation about The Colonial PA Farmstead. Sarah will give a 30-minute overview of the history of Ridley State Park and the settlers from the 17th century who made this area their home. (The Colonial Farmstead is in Ridley Creek Park.)

After Sarah's talk, we'll hike into the woods, and back up through a field - with an option to continue to the barn for a quick stop to see the sheep, goats and alpacas!

Looking forward to walking with you!

About the Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead
Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead, located in Ridley Creek State Park, is a Revolutionary Era living history farm where visitors experience the daily life, skills, challenges, and triumphs of colonial farmers during a transformative period in history. The Farmstead has been a working farm for over 300 years starting as a William Penn land grant in the late 17th century to four generations of the Quaker Pratt family to a now living history farm celebrating 50 years as a historic site in 2026. Sarah Lerch has worked at the Farmstead for over 4 years and serves as the site’s Executive Director. Her favorite skills to participate in and interpret are plowing, ox driving, and spinning.
