Last year's runners had great things to say about this event. Many had never done a trail run before and were surprised to discover just how much fun it can be. This one is a flat, shady course that winds throughout the ACT Community Trails and the Eastern Trail. It has also been certified as a Youth Trail run. With the new playground, the Kids Bike Trail Race on our Flow Trail, there is a lot for the family to do while you run. There will be Pizza, a free beer for all runners, and a live band. Come join the fun. | |

Forest Bathing — Save the Date | |
Forest Bathing Walk with Eric Blasco, Saturday September 28 from 10am - 12pm.
Forest Bathing, or Nature Therapy, is a practice that supports the health and wellness of people and the land they are on. Through an immersive process participants are encouraged to slow down and allow their senses to open, deepening the reciprocal relationship between participants and the forest. This process can support the wholeness and well-being of humans, the lands we inhabit, and other than human worlds.
On this walk, we will take a slow, physically gentle wander in the woods. Through a series of invitations, participants will be encouraged to interact with the land and its beings, in a way that feels appropriate (or intuitive) to themselves.
Eric Blasco grew up on a farm in central New England, exploring and imagining in the woods. He has been a gardener, farmer, poet, builder, chef, facilitator and educator throughout his personal and professional life– connecting with the land in many different ways. For the last 8 years he has led and participated in 50+ workshops and gatherings dedicated to men's work and building positive, generative masculinity.

If you were part of Trail Fest last year or this year as we gear up chances are you've come across this special lady! Wendy is our Trail Fest coordinator and while she may wear many hats this is one where she really shines! Wendy's journey from earning a Master’s in Environmental Studies to a fulfilling career in education and Ed technology reflects her deep-rooted passion for ecology and nature. With a rich background in experiential learning, community building, and social justice, she was a long-time employee of Antioch University. After moving to Arundel in 2019, Wendy initially found it challenging to connect in a town without a central hub. However, participating in the first Trail Fest opened her eyes to the vibrant energy and goodwill of the Arundel Conservation Trust (ACT). Impressed by the group's dedication to bringing the community together and preserving land for public enjoyment, Wendy eagerly volunteered her services. Thank you Wendy! | |
We'd love to have you join our wonderful volunteer team. We need committee members, trail blazers and day volunteers for our September Trail Fest
