SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Certified Forest Therapy Guide Steve Ruelke for a walk in the woods and an immersion practice called Forest Bathing.  In the 1980s Japanese scientists began searching for ways to minimize all the negative impacts that urbanization was having on individuals and society as a whole. They discovered that a two- to three-hour immersion in which one relaxes and breathes in the natural chemistry of a forest\, can lower blood pressure\, reduce stress levels\, improve mood\, increase restfulness\, and boost one’s immune system. They called this practice “Shinrin-yoku” which literally translates “forest bath\,” the art of taking in the atmosphere of the forest.  Meet at the Environmental Education Center.  Begins at 9:00 a.m.  $5.00/person. Registration required.

SUMMARY:2022 Paddle Battle
DESCRIPTION:  \nFifth Annual Maine Lakes Open Paddle Battle!\nSaturday\, June 25th\n2022 Registration is Now Open!\nEarly registration ends May 31st!\n  \nRace Info and Schedule:\nAfter missing the festivities of an in-person event\, we are bringing the Paddle Battle back to Highland Lake this summer! Tarry-A-While Resort on Highland Lake is pretty much the perfect spot. There is a little cove to start in\, and the grassy pine grove is an ideal place to spend the morning. To add to the fun\, we will have goodies\, a silent auction\, and prizes to raffle off. You can even pack a picnic lunch and stay lakeside after the event. \nWe are planning to again have 2K and 5K courses. We are welcoming (single) kayaks to the race this year. Short boards can compete in either course\, long boards (12’6″+) and kayaks in the 5K course. \nAll proceeds from this event will benefit the Lakes Environmental Association\, which is a non-profit regional lakes association dedicated to preserving and protecting lakes. You are on our website already\, so feel free to poke around a little to find out what we do. If you think Maine is only about lighthouses and lobstah’\, you’re missing out!
