From time to time we hear of other activities along the Heysen Trail or trails elsewhere in the State, this is one of them, and, it’s for a great cause.

Nature Foundation SA is holding its first Walk for Nature on Sunday 16th October 2011 with a light to moderate 6km return walk along the Heysen Trail from Bridgewater Oval to Woodhouse Activity Centre. Help to raise funds to conserve, restore and sustainably manage South Australia’s wildlife and environment.
