SUMMARY:*Canceled* 2023 Evening Prairie Burn
DESCRIPTION:4/11/23 This event has been canceled due to the strong winds that are supposed to pick up through the evening. Please check back to our website: https://www.warrenccb.org/activities/events/ for future events and programs. \n~WCCB Staff\n\nJoin the Warren County Conservation Board as we light up the night sky! Learn about the valuable role fire plays in the prairie ecosystem\, and why prescribed burns are used. Enjoy the beauty of watching the prairie burn against the night.\n\nFor thousands of years\, wildfires kept trees out of Iowa’s tall grass prairies\, releasing nutrients that fed a lush\, new growth of grasses and flowers. Iowa’s native tall grass prairies and plant communities developed under fiery conditions and are part of a fire-dependent landscape. By reintroducing fire in a safe\, planned manner\, we recreate a process that maintains Iowa’s fertile soils in grasses and wildflowers.\n\nThis program is dependent on weather conditions. Registration is not required for this event.\nCheck for event updates our website events page: www.warrenccb.org/activities/events or call the office for at 515-961-6169.

We will give you the coordinates to find the last cache challenge. Take a picture of yourself with the very last card or all of your trading cards. Feel free to include family\, friends\, your dog or anyone else that helped you finish the challenge.

SUMMARY:Forest Therapy Hike: Spring Cleansing
DESCRIPTION:Warren County Conservation invites you to join us in a nature & forest therapy guided immersive walk in nature. Forest therapy is a practice that brings people into a closer relationship with nature and natural places. \nWe invite you to unplug\, slow down\, and experience mindfulness in nature. These gentle three-hour walks will focus on opening and using all your senses to explore nature. Shinrin-yoku or forest therapy can provide many positive health benefits such as boosted immune functions\, lowered blood pressure\, decreased anxiety\, increased focus and attention\, relaxation\, and a connection with nature. Staff is certified with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Association. \nForest Therapy is a practice. It is open-ended; there is no prescription for what a person “should” experience\, or what benefits they “should” receive. Each person has a different relationship with nature. \n*Location Information: The trail that we will take near the Middleswart Lodge can be steep in some areas. We will be walking at a leisurely pace\, and can easily take breaks as we go along. This is not a distance hike\, but enjoying the journey. Depending on the weather it may be muddy.  \n**Please wear clothing appropriate for the weather and dress in layers. We will hike if it is light rain (adds quite a bit to the experience) but not if it is thunderstorming.  \nThe fee for this walk is $20 per person and registration is required by Thursday\, March 23rd.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Yoga
DESCRIPTION:The energy of the Winter Solstice is deeply reflective. The Winter Solstice marks a return to light from darkness that we experience within ourselves and in nature during the cold winter months. Yoga helps us move through this season and more deeply align with the energy of the changing seasons\, and release unwanted darkness that no longer serves us. \nJoin Bethany with Begin Again Yoga for a 90-minute yoga class that will move through postures that are held for longer periods of time in a restorative manner\, paired with meditation techniques to relax both the body and mind. This class will focus on letting go of what is no longer serving us and explore the depth of postures to bring new opportunities. Bethany approaches her yoga classes with all levels of yogis in mind\, so all are welcome to this practice. A yoga mat\, layered clothing\, and water bottle are encouraged for this class. \nBethany combines yoga postures\, breath work\, and mindfulness into a complete package for therapeutic classes. She first started practicing yoga to help alleviate the side effects of stress and anxiety. The journey has brought her to share those same healing experiences as a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher to those who would like to live a more enjoyable life and have better general wellness. Bethany leads her mixed-level community classes with a goal of others experiencing the same benefits of yoga on the mind\, body\, and spirit. \nThis class is being offered at a discounted rate by Warren County Conservation and is only $15 per person. This will be held at the Middleswart Lodge at 15875 118th Ave Indianola\, IA 50125.
