Forest Therapy will be led by Morgan Casement on Wednesday, September 18 at Vanderwater Conservation area and Wednesday, October 23 at Sidney Conservation area, both from 1pm until 4pm, starting in the parking lot. Please arrive ready to participate and bring everything you will need for the session, including water, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. Washrooms are adjacent to the parking lot only.

Forest Therapy does not involve vigorous activity. This is not a hike or an educational interpretive walk. Instead, you can expect a slow pace, with ample time spent both moving slowly and remaining in one place. There will be opportunities for sitting, standing, or even lying down. Feel free to bring a journal, blanket, or other items to enhance your comfort. You may also bring snacks if you need to eat within a three-hour period. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.  Morgan will guide you through a conscious and contemplative practice where your senses are immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest.

 Important: While every effort is made to ensure a safe environment, please be aware of the inherent risks, including contact with plants, insects, uneven ground, and changing weather conditions. If you have any major food allergies or other concerns, please inform us in advance.

We ask that you take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.

This event is free and includes parking. Donations are kindly accepted and will be reinvested in stewardship, education and outreach.

Registration is required up to 2 hours prior to the forest therapy session. Tickets are limited. Event will take place rain or shine, but will be cancelled via email in the event of thunder and lightening.
