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 monthly nature walks in Hooven Forest at 10 AM.

    Date/Time: June 15 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.

    Sessions will be held on Sundays from 4-5:30pm. In June, we will only have ONE session on June 22.

    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.
