By early November the Arboretum's trees are at their most dramatic, and the crowds have thinned. It's the perfect moment to try forest therapy — the practice of slowing down enough to notice what the rest of the world simply walks past.

Certified forest therapy guide Linda Lombardo of Wild Heart Nature Connection leads two unhurried hours of wandering, grounding, and connecting with the trees and water, with a little nature art along the way. It's a gentle, restorative reset — and a lovely way to spend a late-autumn Saturday morning.
