Move Your Body, Connect with Nature 🌿
💪 Physical activity can prevent and manage chronic diseases—but nearly half of U.S. adults don’t get enough. Luckily, the Phenology Learning Path on the CMN Keshena campus makes it easy and fun to stay active!
🌿This scenic trail winds through forests and wetlands, featuring interactive signs in Menominee and English, QR codes, and Phenology Stations where you can observe seasonal changes in plants. It’s a perfect spot for a walk, jog, or to contribute to citizen science with Nature’s Notebook.
👉 Join the Kemāmaceqtaq: We’re All Moving project and help build a healthier Menominee County/Nation—one step at a time.
