Join Georges River Land Trust, Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, Maine Tree Farm, and Maine Forest Service for a woodland mindfulness walk, Friday, Oct. 10, from 4 - 5:30 p.m., at Pool Preserve in Union.

As the trees prepare for their seasonal change, participants will engage in mindful practices that foster a deeper connection with their woodland. Participants will learn ways to connect and build a relationship with their woodland by reflecting in two distinct ecosystems. Facilitators will share tools and resources to help continue your stewardship journey.

Maine Tree Farm has donated writing materials for journaling and reflection exercises. Wear comfortable closed-toed shoes and bring your insect repellent of choice.

This event is free and open to everyone. Visit georgesriver.org/events to register.

Parking: From Route 17 in Union, travel one mile north on Sennebec Road to a dirt road on the left. Drive down the dirt road to its end and park beyond the entrance to the driveway into the small gravel pit. At times, the dirt road is chained, so please park on the shoulder there and walk down the dirt road to the property.
