Leave your worries behind and connect to nature with MYA. We’ll get in hiking, birding, forest bathing, yummy vegetarian food and a wicked good bike ride to round out a perfect Sunday funday.
The adventure begins at Bangor Land Trust’s Northeast Penjajawoc Preserve with a birding hike of 1.7 miles traversing along a winding trail over bridges and beside marshland. There are some bumpy bits and roots along the way but adventurers will take their sweet time pausing often to watch for birds and critters along the way. We’ll also find moments of meditation as we experience forest bathing, the practice of taking in the forest through the senses to reap all of the wonderful benefits such as stress reduction and boosting of the immune system. Slowing down, finding stillness, listening to the forest - nature therapy at its best.
We’ll continue on with more goodness not far away in Bangor City Forest pausing for yoga stretching and an MYA vegetarian tailgate picnic to gather more energy for the continuing adventure.
Plus tire or fat tire bikes will be the next focus of adventurers. If you have your own bike please bring it along and if you need a rental, we’ll hook you up! For this adventure we’re supporting Ski Rack Sports and their fabulous fat bikes (limited supply!) We won’t be hitting any advanced trails, all are welcome to give mountain biking a try. The city forest is a wonderful area to ride, great scenery with both tight & wide trails.
