What we’re about
This group is for anyone who loves nature! If you think nature is totally magical and rad and you're in constant awe of its beauty, please join and meet other people who feel the same way! Nature lovers uniiiiite!
The kinds of events we'll do:
• Hiking and chilling in nature (aka, forest bathing)
• A Forest Picnic!
• Listening to trees with stethoscopes (it's a thing!)
• Creating in nature (painting, journaling, poetry, photography, etc)
• A silent dance party in nature
• A trail run with nature chilling in the middle of it
• Celebrating the full moon rising over the ocean
• Lying down in the forest, looking up at the trees
• Observing insects and how cool they are
• Staying still and waiting for nature to come to you
• Meditating in nature
• Educational walks about lichen, wildflowers, survival strategies, moths, evolution, bird calls, migration, hidden things, anything/everything!
All events will be free, but it's possible I'll ask for an optional donation if someone with specialized knowledge leads us on an informational walk. I'll also advertise other events being put on by other organizations through this page, like Land Trusts, Maine Audubon, Portland Parks Conservancy, Rewild Maine, etc.
The name Root Bridge comes from the bridges that a group of people in Eastern India create by guiding tree roots across a river. When finished, the roots form a strong bridge that can be used by people to cross, and it's comprised entirely of living tree roots!
