Private Naturalist Programs
Guided Redwood Experiences
Utlize my years of knowledge and passion for the forest to ensure you have the Redwood Experience you are dreaming of! This area can be very hard to find what you are looking for, due to the many long years of complex conservation history, and the emerging ecology of the ancient Redwood Forest, Sequoia Sempervirens.
A Naturalist Guide will ensure you have the best experience.
Tell me a bit about your desires for the visit, the location you are staying near, and I can create a unique plan to suit your interests, time, and physical abilities!
With so many different groves, such deep ecology, and too many trails to decide upon, let me take the hassle of planning the perfect adventure off your plate!
Typical Fee: $125 per person, two person minimum
Group Size: 2 - 6
Guided Forest Therapy Experiences
Known also as "Forest Bathing" or Shin-rin Yoku as it was originally stated in Japan, where the practice began. The translation would be better stated: "To take in the forest environment." There is no swimsuit required, nor actual bathing.
The goal of a Forest Therapy Guided Walk is to allow our minds to reset, refocus, and refresh. As a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, I will lead your group through a series of iniatives to open our senses and slow our minds to better take in the benefits the Forest can offer to us.
This is not a strenuous walk. In fact, we do not go very far at all, and can be catered to anyone's physical needs, including Wheelchair based.
This is not a typical Eco-Tour where I would discuss Natural History, Identify Plants and Animals, and things of that nature.
After our time together, you will have a deeper understanding, and a "toolbox" of sorts, that you can use to further practice Forest Therapy on your own.
