Join Walk the Border ACT
Join us in the adventure of a lifetime on Walk the Border ACT!
Conservation Council President Rod Griffiths is leading a 306 km walk to circumnavigate the ACT border in October 2019. The 20 day walk will cross a variety of local ecosystems, from majestic alpine forests to diverse wooded and grassy lowlands.
We invite you to join in the walk for one day or a few days. If walking isn’t your thing but you would like to support the work of the Conservation Council, we encourage you to sponsor the walkers!
