A FUNDRAISING walk of the ACT border will be held next month in aid of the Conservation Council ACT Region, the peak conservation organisation for Canberra and the Capital Region.
The ACT’s 306-kilometre border crosses a variety of the ACT’s ecosystems, from alpine forests to diverse wooded and grassy lowlands.
Walk the Border ACT is being led by Conservation Council president Rod Griffiths, who will be joined by other walkers for one or more stages of the walk.
“The walk will be exciting, challenging, and will allow those participating to experience parts of the ACT less travelled”, Mr Griffiths said.
“It will take 21 days commencing on October 7 from Hall, following the border in a clockwise direction. The route will take in some of the ACT’s roughest and most beautiful country, including the source of the ACT’s water supply. But it is not all hard and many stages cater to a range of walking abilities.”
Walkers will help bring sponsorship to the event and funds raised will assist the Conservation Council’s ongoing environmental work.
