It’s time to experience Forest Bathing again! (AKA “Shinrin Yoku” the Japanese term which simply means “taking in the forest atmosphere”) Come out and join our Trail Ambassadors for a short distance mindful walk in the woods (interspersed with some great info about Black Run Preserve).  Enjoy taking part in brief guided invitations that will re- awaken your senses to the rejuvenating benefits of nature. If you seek the silence of the woods  (along with a bit of quiet conversation) this one’s for YOU!     

DATE: Sunday June 8th
TIME: 10am till 12 noon  (Weather permitting, lightning and/or heavy rain cancel)
WHERE TO MEET: Kettle Run Road East Trailhead Entrance – This is the main trailhead for Black Run Preserve.

DETAILS: This slow paced guided nature 1.3 mile walk will be interspersed with mindful activities plus lessons about the unique ecology in this Pinelands environment. Gather with other outdoor, peace-loving enthusiasts and Friends of the Black Run Preserve. Trail is mostly a mix of light gravel and sand.
