Forest Friday
Viernes al Aire Libre
"You can walk in a dream when you are awake: just walk in the misty morning of a forest." -Mehmet Murat Ildan
Get outside!
In Eugene we are lucky to have multiple areas to wander and be outside in natural spaces. Whether it's right in your neighborhood or a trail nearby, take a moment to get outside and get to know a tree. Is there a tree in your yard or on your street that you love? A tree you always notice on a hike? A tree you've read about, but haven't visited? Get to know that tree. Lean against its trunk, feel its bark, follow its roots with your eyes, look high into its branches and inhale its gift of oxygen...thank a tree today.
