We’re only a few days from June, which means summer is basically here. Fingers crossed, the constant rain will disappear from the weather forecast so we can all get outside and enjoy the countless summer events all around the county.

Here’s what’s on deck for the week ending Wednesday, June 4.

Spend your morning exploring Columbia’s lakes, streams, woodlands and wildlife. The guided walk is led by Ned Tillman, an award-winning author and environmental scientist, and Danielle Tyeryar, sustainability manager at the Columbia Association.
