Stone Soup Stroll with Wildlands Conservancy

Emmaus, PA

Join LINC community members and fellow Wildlands Conservancy walkers for a delightful winter adventure! We’ll explore the frosty trails of the Sanctuary, enjoying the serene beauty of the season, and then warm up together with a hearty bowl of soup by the fire.

As part of the cherished tradition of Stone Soup, we’ll cook up two pots of delicious soup—one vegetarian and one beef—over open fires. Bring a vegetable (fresh or canned) to contribute to the pot, or bring some rolls to share. Together, we’ll create a meal that celebrates community, collaboration, and warmth on a winter’s day.
