What we’re about
Welcome to Weekday Nature Walks with Charlie! We’re a community of nature lovers, wellness seekers, and curious minds who gather for guided walks at Whittier Narrows Nature Center and surrounding natural areas. Led by experienced nature guide Charlie Valdez, our walks are designed to reconnect you with the outdoors, encourage mindfulness, and offer a deeper appreciation of local plants, birds, insects, and wildlife.
Each walk is about a mile long and includes light physical activity, educational moments, and space to breathe, reflect, and connect — with both nature and one another. Whether you’re new to nature walks or a seasoned trail-goer, all are welcome here, including LGBTQIA+ members, families, and solo walkers.
Let nature heal you, teach you, and inspire you — one weekday at a time.
