Did You Know?

On average, Conservation Authorities plant more than 2M trees annually through their various tree planting programs and stewardship initiatives. This work helps to mitigate climate change by moderating the effects of drought and flooding, reducing soil erosion, reducing GHGs, sequestering carbon, providing habitat for wildlife, creating recreational opportunities, and providing an essential economic resource.

 

Forest Wellness Series


Gratitude Walk

Register Here

Take time after Thanksgiving to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world. This special Forest Wellness session is centred on gratitude, reflection, and renewal, inviting you to slow down and appreciate the simple moments that often get overlooked in our busy lives.

As autumn settles into the forest, we’ll take a gentle walk through the woods, using the sights, sounds, and changing colours of the season as an opportunity to practise mindfulness and reflect on the things we are grateful for. Known in Japan as forest bathing, this practice encourages us to slow our pace, engage our senses, and simply be present in nature.

Simply bring yourself, warm layers, sturdy footwear suitable for light walking, and perhaps a water bottle. Come ready to breathe deeply, wander gently, and take some time for yourself while connecting with the beauty of the autumn forest.
