Due to extremely low temperatures, this event has been postponed from November 19 to Saturday, December 10th (same time). All ticket holders will automatically have tickets to the new date for the event. Because of the postponement, ticket sales will remain open until early December.

This event features a 2-hour forest therapy walk led by Intertwined Nature + Forest Therapy, followed by a tea ceremony in the woods with special guest, Good Neighbor Iowa. Good Neighbor Iowa will share information about fall lawncare techniques that promote healthy soils, protect pollinators, and nurture healthy spaces for human health.

Good Neighbor Iowa is a statewide public health education initiative managed in partnership with the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy and Environmental Education. Good Neighbor Iowa uplifts pesticide-free lawn management practices, encourages appreciation for diverse lawns, and educates the public on alternative methods of lawn management.

Good Neighbor Iowa wants to protect Iowa’s children, pets, water quality, pollinators, and biodiversity from the harmful effects of urban pesticide use. Science-driven evidence has shown that pesticides pose threats to environmental and human health.
