SUMMARY:Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Slow down\, awaken your senses\, and connect with Nature as you luxuriate in a Forest Bath!\n\n\nCelebrate the start of WLT’s Earth Week by joining Deirdre O’Connor for a slow and relaxing walk in Riverwood Preserve. \nForest Bathing is the pleasant practice of spending time in nature to enhance health and happiness. Evidence-based research confirms that time in nature has profound healing benefits for physical and emotional well–being. The term Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese tradition of “shin-rin yoku\,” literally translated to “bathing in the atmosphere of the forest”. On this walk\, you will experience how the regular practice of Forest Bathing can restore your health and vitality. \nForest Bathing also offers us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with the natural world. You will be walking slowly for about one mile on mostly flat but uneven forest trails as you are offered a series of invitations to explore the landscape with your senses and connect with the natural world. We will be walking and sitting for 2 hours\, and will finish our walk by sharing tea together. \nRegistration \n\nRegistration is required. Spots are limited.\n\n\nFree for WLT members\, $10 for not-yet-members. Not a member and would like to be? CLICK HERE.\nThis experience is open to ages 15 and up.\n\nThings to Know \n\nParking is available at Riverwood Preserve. Turn onto Boy Scout Drive off of Old Hopkinton Road\, continue down the road through the set of open gates\, and continue on the dirt road along the river until you are at the parking area by the sign for Camp Quequatuck\nOuthouses are available at the trailhead\nWear sturdy and comfortable shoes\nDressing in layers is recommended\, possibly a day pack for shedded layers\nBring a hiking stick or poles if you like using them\n\nDeirdre O’Connor is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. Deirdre is delighted to share the Healing power of Nature through Forest Bathing\, where Nature and our true natures come to know one another. She resides in Westerly\, enjoying birding\, botany\, bicycling\, and exploring the next cool place to share Forest Bathing.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Wonder Walk - Buds & Bugs
DESCRIPTION:June’s theme is Buds & Bugs. Come walk\, wonder\, and grow with us.\n\n\nWe are teaming up with our friends from WildRoots once a month for Wednesday Wonder Walks\, a guided family hiking series curated to spark curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of nature. Our partnership blends playful discovery with embedded teaching\, helping children build knowledge naturally as they explore. By connecting families to the land and encouraging stewardship\, we hope to inspire the next generation to care for—and protect—the wild places around them. \nEach session invites children and their families to slow down\, look closely\, and discover the magic of the natural world together. Every month features a new theme and a new Westerly Land Trust property\, giving young explorers the chance to get to know their local environment in a meaningful and memorable way. \nMay’s theme is Buds & Bugs and will be held at Avondale Farm Preserve. Come explore blooming meadows in search of the tiny creatures that keep our world buzzing. Equipped with bug vacuums\, we will carefully catch\, observe\, and identify pollinators before gently releasing them back to their homes. Along the way\, students discover how flowers and bugs work together\, learn why pollinators are so important\, and practice careful observation skills. This hands-on adventure turns every meadow walk into a chance to discover the hidden helpers that keep plants\, and our planet\, thriving. \n\nPrograms are NO COST thanks to generous community support\nRegistration is required for all participants\nAn adult must accompany their child/children during program. This is a great way to adventure together!\nParking is available on sight. We will meet at Quail Run parking lot.\n\nAbout the Hosts \nWildRoots Play is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a community where children and families can nurture connection\, holistic development\, and Earth stewardship through immersive experiences in nature and play. \nThe Westerly Land Trust (WLT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to conserving open space\, revitalizing neighborhoods\, and building community in Westerly\, Rhode Island.
