About Your Nature Hike Guide
Natalie Wurz
Natalie Wurz is a nature lover that has spent a lifetime of pursuing outdoor adventures. Through the years as a College Outdoor Club Officer, Girl Scout Leader and now Business Owner (Stonefield Cellars), she has led groups on hikes, camp-outs, and kayak/rafting trips in Georgia, Utah, and North Carolina. With either a fishing rod, paddle, hiking stick, or camera in hand, Natalie is comfortable on land and water and is always eager to share her passion for the year round beauty of our natural world with others. Note: The photo you see here was taken by the ox-bow of the creek beside the trail we will be walking at the Knight-Brown Nature Preserve!
Natalie will lead you on a nature walk through the Knight-Brown Nature Preserve located in Stokesdale, NC. Difficulty of the trail is rated as Easy to Moderate. You must be able to walk from 1-1/2 to 2 hours – we will stop and take photos and rest as necessary since some of the walk will be uphill. Important!!!! While there are bridges for crossing the creek, some trail areas may be muddy if we’ve had recent rain, and sometimes the trail may be slippery with leaves. Therefore, sturdy, closed toe shoes are a must (no sandals or flip-flops). Dress for the weather (wear layers, bring a jacket). If steady RAIN is in the forecast we will NOT go on the nature walk and will replace it with an INDOOR activity.
*Times listed above are approximate as the nature walk end time will be effected by size of group and how often we stop for photos and rests.
If you have ANY questions about the hike or winery visit contact Natalie – 336-689-4071.
