Meditation on Maples

November 4, 2023

Date/Time
Date(s) - Nov 4th, 2023
10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Location
Bullitt Reservation


A hand holds up a bright orange and red maple leaf in front of the trunk of a maple tree.

Come get to know the marvelous maples at the Bullitt Reservation!

Meditation on Maples is a program that invites participants to explore maple trees with all five senses. We’ll take in the tree as a whole, we’ll explore the texture of the bark and the shape of the leaves. This program will combine scientific and artistic ways of knowing and learning.

This event is appropriate for all ages. Pre-registration is required.

About the Program Leader

Monya Relles (they/them) has been an environmental educator with a passion for environmental justice for seven years and they have loved the earth their whole life. In their free time they can be found hiking, dancing, or playing off-key ukulele at the Connecticut River, much to the mortification of people who pass by.
