Join other Norfolk Field Naturalist members to experience Forest Therapy with event leader Amber Zuber who is a NFN member.
About Forest Therapy:
Forest Therapy, also known as forest bathing, is a gentle, guided walk in nature that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the natural world through all your senses. Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, it is not a hike or exercise but a way to experience the forest with presence and curiosity. Research shows it can reduce stress, boost mood, support immune health, and restore a sense of calm and clarity. The walk unfolds slowly, with frequent pauses, simple invitations, and opportunities to notice, reflect, and just be. The full experience should take about 2.5 hours and is suitable for all fitness levels.
Location: Parking lot at the TPMBC hatchery (also known as Normandale Fish Culture Station) just north of Turkey Point Provincial Park on Turkey Point Road – 394 Norfolk County Road 10, St. Williams. Follow the road in and park by the old pond.
