Northwest-style shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) at Fairweather Nature Preserve
DATE AND TIME TBD (11/13 at 10am is a placeholder) Northwest-style shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) at Fairweather Nature Preserve, facilitated by a local, experienced guide. What’s forest bathing? https://time.com/5259602/japanese-forest-bathing/
FAIRWEATHER Beautiful
To continue building community and invest in our neighborhood, Northpoint is having a volunteer clean-up at Fairweather Nature Preserve on Sunday, October 24th from 9:30-11:30.
Some invasive plants such as English ivy and blackberries can take over areas and hinder the health of our beautiful and vital natives. Together, we can clip back where these invasives have taken over. Additionally, we can collect litter and debris.
All are welcome- even those who'd prefer to do more "connecting" than clipping. Teens that need volunteer hours, young kiddos? Bring 'em! Also, invite others!
Coffee, breakfast goodies and yard waste bags will be provided. Please bring gloves, clippers and other useful garden tools.
Meet at the basketball court at 9:30 or join any time after.

community forum: HEALTH & WELL-BEING - VIRTUAL
The Medina Police Department held a community forum a few months ago about how to keep our kids safe from drugs, bad people on the Internet, etc. This month’s community forum is about how to take care of our mental health, as we work collectively to restore ourselves and heal from this pandemic.
Tips and ideas will be offered by guest expert, Susie Kroll, MA, MHP, LMHC. It’s a real treat and honor that she’ll be a co-host this month.
Kindly log-in for at least part of this virtual event, so that you can hear her tips and ideas, and also to show the City that yes, we appreciate these types of community well-being forums.
