Because of the rainy forecast and slick forest floor we have to reschedule our Chester Hike to Sunday, January 11th.  We are offering two time slots, 1:30 and 3:30.  If you are interest go sign-up via the link below and register today!

Please join us for our first program of 2026, a peaceful hike to welcome the new year, breathe in fresh air, set intention, and connect with the land as we walk the beautiful Chester property, one of DLC’s incredible conserved properties that isn’t usually open to the public.

We’ll start with some conversation about focusing on and connecting to our natural surroundings as we walk — on this hike we won’t identify trees, plants or birds, we’ll simply notice the beauty around us. We’ll walk in silence for part of the time with integrated stops along the way to take in each scene with some guiding words from our guide. This walk will allow us to be open to new things, and perhaps we’ll each see something in nature we haven’t seen before.
