Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese form of nature therapy that is designed to connect you with nature.

Things you need to know:

These particular Forest Therapy walks are designed for adults, so 14 is the minimum age. There will be future walks available that will give our younger people the opportunity to enjoy the Forest in this way.
Dress appropriately for the weather, and be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
Walks are held rain or shine, and cancelled if dangerous weather occurs. The safety of our participants is of utmost importance!
