Connections

Nature brings us back to what matters most: connection. Hooven Forest is a place to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the natural world.

  • Join Our Newsletter

    Sign up for our monthly newsletter and tell us more about yourself. All are welcome and we have plenty of volunteer opportunities.

  • Monthly Nature Walks

    Are you looking for a fun, guided opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of Hooven Forest?

    Alexia of Hawthorne Farm will lead three nature walks in Hooven Forest at 10 AM the second Sunday of each month:

    April 13 at 10am
    May 11 at 10am (Mother’s Day so bring the Moms in your life!)
    June 8 at 10am

    Location: Meet at the trailhead at the north end of 170th, and we'll spend an hour to an hour and a half strolling and listening with Alexia, an experienced naturalist and birding-by-ear teacher.

    All ages welcome, but kids must have an adult with them. No cost, but Hooven Forest donations welcome.

  • Weekly Mindfulness in Nature

    Do you ever wish you could experience your days with a greater sense of calm, ease and joy?

    Join us for weekly mindfulness sessions, where we will learn to cultivate present moment awareness and establish a meditation practice.

    April 13 at 4pm
    (no April 20 session)
    April 27 at 4pm
    May 4th at 4pm

    Location: Enter from the South Side entrance at 166th Ave NE / 85th Ave SE and walk a few minutes in and you will see an open tree grove.

    All ages welcome, but kids must have an adult with them. No cost, but Hooven Forest donations welcome.
