EARTH WEEK TREE PLANTING - VOLUNTEER DAY
Date: Sunday, April 26th 9:00AM - 12:00PM
Location: Seno Woodland Center
3606 Dyer Lake Rd. Burlington, WI 53105
Join us at the end of Earth Week for a volunteer work day planting 1,400 trees on about 4 acres at our Drumlin Farm preserve!
We will meet at Seno Woodland Center at 9:00 AM to have a brief training and introduction before heading over to Drumlin Farm. Coffee and donuts will be provided!
Because we will be driving about 5 minutes to Drumlin Farm to plant trees, please consider carpooling. Once we are finished planting trees stick around Drumlin Farm and attend Rustic Falls Nature Camp’s annual Tulip Fest right next door!
Please be sure to dress for the weather and for the task at hand. Closed-toe shoes, gloves if you have them, and clothes that can get a little dirty!
FOREST THERAPY AT SENO WOODLAND CENTER
Date: Tuesday, May 12th 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Location: Seno Woodland Center
3606 Dyer Lake Rd. Burlington, WI 53105
Limited to 20 participants!
Adult Program (18+)
As the day softens into evening, you’ll be guided by Pam Whyte of Cedar & Stone Forest Therapy through a gentle, sensory-based experience designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world. This is not a hike. There is no destination to reach, no pace to keep.
Instead, through a series of simple invitations, you’ll be encouraged to:
Notice the textures, sounds, and rhythms of the forest
Experience nature through your senses
Set down the weight of daily life, even if just for a moment
The walk is slow, accessible, and welcoming to all, with plenty of time to pause, reflect, and simply be.
This special event is more than a personal wellness experience; it is also a fundraiser supporting the conservation work of Seno K/RLT Conservancy. Seno K/RLT works to protect places like Seno Woodland Center, where people can slow down and reconnect with nature. For this special fundraiser event, registration is a sliding scale donation; donate what you can, with a reccomended minimum donation of $25.
