Guided Nature & Mindfulness Hikes

Sunrise Hikes

Sunrise Nature Hikes are opportunities to go on guided hikes with a naturalist. They are designed to encourage curiosity, maximize appreciation, and create community in the many natural spaces throughout Washtenaw County. Each month, we will explore a different location and discover what is happening with the plants and animals during each season. 

Mindfulness Hikes

These gentle, meditative walks—led by a naturalist and a wellness instructor—offer a chance to slow down and engage your senses. Designed to cultivate inner calm and a deeper connection with nature, these hikes invite participants to release stress and experience the quiet joy of simply being present in the outdoors
