Join certified forest therapy guide, Linda Lombardo of Wild Heart Nature Connection, on a walk at Bayard Cutting Arboretum to reconnect with the natural world around us.

We also practice physical distancing. Limited to 12 participants.

Join Christa Hebal, an ANFT certified forest therapy guide, for a relaxing 2.5-hour stroll in our stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Through a series of invitations, you’ll have the opportunity to be present in the moment, deepening your connection with nature and community, and enjoying the many gifts nature has to offer. Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese art of immersing oneself in a forest environment, forest bathing walks invite our guests to spend time in nature in a way that invites healing for ourselves, our fraught ecosystems, and our community. It is true nature therapy! The walk culminates in a tea ceremony with snacks.

Pittsburgh Botanic Garden
Oct 03, 2021 | 09:15 A.M. - 11:45 A.M.
799 Pinkerton Run Road
Oakdale, PA, USA
Join us for this immersive forest experience where you consciously take in the sights, sounds, touches, smells and tastes of the forest. It’s not about doing anything strenuous or getting your heart rate up — rather, the point is to slow down and fully experience in your own individual way what the forest has to offer.
Our walk will last from two to two and a half hours. With Certified Forest Therapy Guide Doug Jones’ guidance, we’ll wander along the paths of the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, stopping every so often for invitations designed to maximize being present and deepen your connection with nature.
Maybe the best thing about Forest Bathing is that there is no right or wrong way to do it. Just come as you are. No advance preparation is needed other than arriving ten minutes early for the walk and dressing appropriately for the weather.
The terrain is rolling. The trails are wide and well maintained. They may be muddy in spots, and we will go down steps in a couple of places. If you have mobility issues, please contact Doug in advance.

Mattie is also a mindfulness teacher, a Zen practictioner, an Episcopal oblate, and a retired professor of education. She is certified in wilderness medicine and first aid.

Additional walks may be planned for other places of wonder that Conserving Carolina has helped protect. In addition to forest bathing walks, we look forward to offering special events that incorporate music, art, photography, writing, or foraging for edible plants into the forest bathing experience.
