Steve Cannon, Executive Director of the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center added, “The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center shares the same common mission and values as that of Right To Hike, but more importantly we share Meredith's love of the outdoors and the right to live without fear as we enjoy nature.

This unique family friendly event encourages a healthy lifestyle, an opportunity to enjoy nature, and is a supportive community cause of promoting pet adoptions.
