Making Camp: Meet the Author Martin Hogue
Saturday, May 11, 2024 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Green Lakes State Park
Please join us on Saturday May 11th for a talk by local
author Martin Hogue on his new book Making Camp: A Visual History of Camping's
Most Essential Items and Activities. From the early days of recreational
camping in the late nineteenth century through the multitude of modern camping
options available today, Hogue explores the history and evolution of the
popular activity through the lens of its most important and familiar
components: the campsite, the campfire, the picnic table, the map, the tent,
the sleeping bag, as well as the oft invisible systems for delivering water and
managing trash. A perfect start to the summer camping season, whether you're
into car camping, hike-in tent camping, bivouacking, mountaineering, RV
camping, glamping, or backyard camping, Hogue's presentation offers a
comprehensive look at the origins of the practice and the ways that bring all
enthusiasts together. This is a free event.
Forest Therapy Walk
Sunday, May 19, 2024 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Green Lakes State Park
This is a mindful slow
walk, At times not walking at all.
The practice of Forest
Therapy is grounded in the belief that the earth has wisdom to share with
humans when we slow down long enough to pay attention.
Not everyone experiences
the same thing. Many people talk about feeling more connected, more
peaceful, or describe the wonder of seeing something they had never
noticed before.
June, a Certified ANFT
Forest Therapy Guide, will offer you invitations to be in touch your
senses (sight, smell, sound, touch, imagination, etc), to slow down and
connect with nature around you as well as yourself.
The walk ends with
snacks and a tea ceremony with tea foraged from the local area.
Pre-registration
is required. Register at: foresttherapywalk@gmail.com
This is for
adults 14 years & up. No dogs allowed. You will receive an email the day
