Forest Bathing Is: 

A quiet, mindful walk in a forest or natural environment while engaging all of your senses.

Forest Bathing Isn’t: 

• Forest bathing does not involve taking a bath…in the traditional sense. However, there may be times when we interact with water.

• Forest bathing it is not a nature identification activity. Although you may notice and appreciate the various aspects of Nature during a forest bathing walk.   

• Forest bathing is not a hike.  While the goal of a hike is to get to a specific destination, the walk and the pleasure of the walk is the goal.

• Forest bathing is not a type of workout, and does not involve physical exertion.  Forest bathing walks do promote health, but are relaxing.
