Reconnect, recharge, and heal with Nature and Forest Therapy on Aug. 7

Published on July 31, 2025

The Town's Disaster Preparedness & Recovery team invites you to participate in a unique and restorative experience through the Nature and Forest Therapy program, an innovative approach to stress relief, healing, and resilience.

Rooted in the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), these guided sessions offer a chance to slow down, engage your senses, and reconnect with the natural world. Benefits include:

• Lower stress and blood pressure
• Boosted mood, energy, and focus
• Improved sleep and immune function

Led by certified guides trained in trauma-informed care and wilderness safety, these experiences are designed to support emotional well-being, especially in communities recovering from disaster.

Open to those ages 16 and older. Please register. 

Discover how time in nature can restore your connection to land, self, and community.
