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

Upcoming Hikes
Spring Equinox Mindfulness Hike
3:00pm – Geddes Entrance, Nichols Arboretum
The spring equinox is a special moment. With almost equal darkness and daylight, it heralds the changing of the seasons and a time of deep connection with the Earth. We begin to shift from the quiet and introspective focus of winter to more outward, engaged, and energetic feelings of Spring. This liminal space between dormancy and vivacity invites us to explore what is beginning to transition inside us as Nature begins its transitions. Join naturalist Elle Bogle and mindfulness instructor Julie Woodward for an equinox hike in Nichols Arboretum to celebrate the shifting seasons.
Pre-registration required. Registration fee of $10 payable by cash or Venmo @ElleBogle, last four 1494.
