Hi all,

We've rescheduled the Winter Solstice Walk for February 4, 2024 and will
rename it as a Winter Evergreen and First Beetle of the Year Walk.

Everything else is the same.

Thanks,  Rod

The "everything else" can be seen in the email announcing the walk that was
to have taken place in December. It will start at 11am.
