Forest Therapy Walk

May 15, 2021 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Come experience the benefits of early spring outdoors at Planting Fields.  Studies have shown that forest therapy can help build a strong immune system, boost your ability to fight infection, reduce stress hormones, lower your blood pressure and heart rate, and improve concentration and focus. Certified guide, Linda Lombardo, will lead a 2-hour walk throughout the Olmsted Brothers’ landscape of Planting Fields that will promote mindfulness and connectivity with your surroundings. Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments​. Forest Therapy originated as Shinrin-Yoku, or 森林翼​ –  the Japanese characters translate to “forest and woods and taking them all in”. It’s not about distance or endurance. It’s about slowing down and noticing.
