Entertainment Schedule

  • 11:00-12:00: Forest Bathing (13 to adult)
    • The practice of forest bathing means to immerse oneself in the forest and soak in the atmosphere through the senses. Today’s walk at an easy pace will focus on connecting to nature through mindfulness, as we explore our senses and the present moment through short, guided, meditations in the forest. Come explore a new way of walking through the forest! Led by New Weis Center Lead Educator Lauren Lynch.
  • 11:30-12:30: Flight of the Forest (6 to adult)
    • Do you watch soaring vultures with a tinge of envy, or wonder why flies buzz when zipping past your ear? Birds and insects have evolved to fly to meet all sorts of needs, from migration, to hunting, to evading predation. On this short walk, we’ll explore all creatures with wings and learn about the principles and features of flight and the unique adaptations that make it possible. Led by Naturalist Sarah Crosby.
  • 12:00-1:00: Sit Spot & Nature Journaling (6 to adult)
    • Let’s slow down, reflect and appreciate the sensory rich environment of nature. We’ll start with a gentle walk and and a well-loved and time honored sit spot activity. We’ll listen for birdsong, observe trees swaying in the breeze and connect with the natural world through written reflections. Led by New Weis Center Educators/Naturalists.
  • 12:30-1:30: Macroinvertebrates & the Watershed (6 to adult)
    • Join us for a fun short hike as we explore the Blue Mine Brook that runs through our property, search for macroinvertebrates, and learn how they can indicate the health of the watershed. Wear rainboots if you want to go in the stream and help collect the specimens. Led by NJDEP AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassador Sue Livingston.
  • 1:00-2:00: Medicinal Invasive Plant Walk (6 to adult)
    • Most of us have heard the term “invasive species”, and how they have a negative impact on our native ecosystems. But did you know that many of these plants are full of beneficial vitamins, nutrients, and medicine? Join us for a walk through the forest as we learn about invasives from a new perspective! We will focus on how to identify 3 of the more prevalent species, medicinal qualities that each offers, and ways to begin working with them yourself in a beautiful, sustainable way. Led by New Weis Center Lead Educator and Flow With Nature founder Lauren Lynch.
