--About the Event and Club
BLK Hiking Club events are intended for Black people unless otherwise stated due to the limited options that exist for Black people to engage in the outdoors where we can easily see and engage with others who look like us and share our experiences.
While we appreciate the work of allies, they are encouraged to join one of the many other hiking groups in the Triangle.
--About the Event
We will be joined by Eno River Association volunteer and land steward Brian for a walking stick whittling workshop along the Eno! Learn about stewardship and natural resource management while collecting saplings to create a hand-carved walking stick to take home.
Bring a pocketknife, a chair, water and something to snack on while you learn the basics of wood whittling with Brian on a peaceful Sunday morning at the Confluence Natural Area in Hillsborough.
The cost of this event is $9 per person. You must register and pay at this link:

--About the Park
The Confluence Natural Area is owned and managed by the Eno River Association. It is a 270-acre preserve open for low-impact recreational uses, such as hiking along over 5 miles of trail, picnicking, and photography.
The Confluence Natural Area is so named because the East and West Forks of the Eno River flow from the north to merge here, thus forming the Eno River. This former farm has a long history stretching back to the late 1700s. Remnants of an old mill can still be visited by following the trails. In addition, this section of the river is a Nationally Significant Natural Heritage area, and home to populations of multiple rare plant species.
