Reconnect with nature on a guided walk led by certified Forest Therapy Guide Lori Klamner.

Children are naturally inspired and curious about nature. Forest Bathing is calming, sensory, and playful. On this guided walk, Lori Klamner, a Certified Forest Therapy Guide specializing in Urban Park, will include creating games, noticing shapes and textures of plants, and sharing stories. The location features stunning rock formations, towering trees, wintering flower beds, and the mighty Hudson River.

All are welcome. Caregivers will be active participants.

The program includes a short, no more than a half-mile walk at a slow pace. Wear comfortable clothing and bring water, snacks, and a towel or cushion for sitting on the ground.

Summer on the Hudson events are free and open to the public. Seating is limited, unreserved, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is heavy rain at the time of the event, the event will be canceled. For weather updates, check nyc.gov/parks/soh 2 hours before the event.
