Hosted by the Wildflower Stepping Stones Project, the walk is a guided tour through the Wildflower 'stepping stones' (or conservation circles) of Kenridge. It starts and ends in the park opposite the popular Vineyard Deli.

Learn more about our local veldtypes, and expect to see birds, insects and possibly a skink or slug eater along the way! Kenridge also boasts three near-threatened species that are now protected year-round in our parks.
