Ķemeri Great Marsh Boardwalk Program

We designed and launched a structured 8-week guided walking program with 24 participants aged 58-76. Each group of 6 visitors gets a naturalist guide covering ecosystem dynamics, seasonal bird migrations, and wetland conservation. Rest shelters are positioned every 400 meters along the 2.4-kilometer route.

Observation Tower Bird Identification Walks

Created a twice-weekly observation tower program teaching seniors bird species identification and migratory patterns. Over 120 visitors participated in spring 2024, spotting 32 different species including white-tailed eagles and cranes. Sessions last 2 hours with wheelchair-accessible ramps and covered seating.

Wellness and Mindfulness Walks

Developed a 12-week mindfulness program combining gentle boardwalk walks with environmental awareness sessions. 18 participants reported improved sleep quality and reduced stress levels. Each 90-minute session includes guided meditation, slow-paced walking, and nature journaling with rest periods integrated throughout.

Seasonal Ecosystem Exploration Series

Launched quarterly themed tours showcasing how Ķemeri transforms across seasons. Spring (amphibian chorus), summer (dragonflies and wildflowers), autumn (migratory birds), and winter (frost formations) each attract 30-40 seniors. Participants learn to identify seasonal ecological shifts and photograph natural phenomena with provided guidance.
