2017
Every year since 2015, WACF has hosted an October trail walk that we call FallTastic. The three WACF trails (about three miles total) are decorated for the season and interesting educational signs are posted. We offer light refreshments and a crackling fire in the Ruddell pavilion at the Education Center on SR 13 (one mile south of Syracuse). This event is free to anyone in the community and our trails are pet friendly.
After a full 20 years of negotiations with the property owner, WACF has acquired what is arguably their most important property.
