Linda Kuhn
Linda is a certified Forest Therapy Guide who wants to share her belief that spending time in nature in a slow, relaxed way with an open heart and open senses can boost well-being in our bodies and minds.
A long-time resident of Hunterdon County, NJ, Linda worked in Manhattan as a magazine writer and then in NJ as a freelance writer, specializing in health and environmental topics. She returned to college in 2014 to become a Registered Horticultural Therapist through Rutgers University. She has worked with Veterans at the Lyons and East Orange VA Medical Centers, teaching them about plants and gardening for their physical and mental health. She also works at the Center for Great Expectations in Somerset where women with young children are dealing with substance use issues.
She earned her certificate as a Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy in July 2022 and has led walks in New Jersey at the Ironbound Farm and Ciderhouse in Asbury and at Whittemore CCC in Oldwick. She has also led walks with several groups of Veterans in residential programs at the Lyons VA Medical Center.
