Tree Walk w/ Jim Rassman
Sat, September 27th
10:00 AM
Hoff Property/White Eagle
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far go with a team. If you don't want fast nor far walk with a botanist."
Join Jim Rassman, Service Forester with the State Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, for a walk in Aucoot Woods.
We'll begin at Hoff parking area and tour the early fall woods. Our path will include opened areas, older forested areas, and formerly farmed plots.
We hope you'll come to appreciate the woods a bit more from this experienced and knowledgeable guide. Perhaps you will "fall" for botany!
Registration is requested.

Forest Bathing with Diane Pienta
Sun, October 12th
10:00 AM - Noon
Osprey Marsh
Slow down, awaken your senses and experience the magic of Forest Bathing with certified Forest Therapy Guide, Diane Pienta.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku to mitigate stress of modern-day life, this guided experience offers the opportunity to interact with Nature in a way that invites a deeper connection with the land and ourselves.
Diane is a certified Forest Therapy guide and is passionate about connecting people and the land. She has guided numerous walks for private groups as well as larger institutions.
Walk will be rescheduled in case of heavy rain - please make sure we have your contact info if we need to be in touch.   Limited to 10 participants so register soon to avoid disappointment.
"Forest Therapy broadly means taking in, in all of one’s senses, Nature’s atmosphere. Not simply a walk in the woods, it is the conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sound, smells and space of the forest. Of being in deep relationship with the Earth Herself."
