Slow down. Breathe deeply. Notice what's around you.
Join us for Forest Bathing, a meditative walk through the woods that invites you to slow down and explore nature using your senses. Craig Casler, Certified Instinctive Meditation Teacher and Forest Bathing Guide, will lead the experience.

Sometimes the best way to explore the woods is simply to stop and notice.

MISSION: STOP THE INVADERS!
Not every plant or animal belongs where you find it. But what makes a species invasive, and why can invasive species be such a problem for our local ecosystems? Grab your detective hat and join us for a hands-on investigation!
