NatureVersity: Health and Wellness

Being outdoors is healthy for body and soul. Whether for exercise, meditation, or rejuvenation, these programs will make you feel better.

The Sounds of CNC: Acoustic Ecology

Each place has a unique "soundprint," and if you hike with awareness, you can practice being "present" to a place through listening. Join Glen Helen Naturalist Brooke Byran and Kevin Wolfe as they guide you through a hike of CNC trails using very sensitive earphones and microphones. Learn what you've been missing and train your ears to hear better. Enjoy the sounds of nature like never before. Member adult $10; Nonmember adult $15. Pre-registration is required.
