Upcoming EVENTS

Tree Walk Saturday, 9:45 am October 25 2025

Tree Walk - Join us in Henteleff park to explore trees and their symbolism for growth and transformation. We will walk 4.7 km on a fairly flat trail with views of the Red River and many trees in what was a former tree nursery. If you are interested in making a Cyanotype Art project after the walk, please donate $10 each (the art project has a cap of 15 participants). The Cyanotype Art will take half an hour to get a photographic image of leaves collected. We will use special paint on paper and place leaves in a design and set in the sun for 15 minutes then process to get white shadows where the leaves were and a blue(cyan) background. You can take the tree art home. Dress warmly for this outdoor activity. We invite you to think about something you want to release or shed like autumn leaves and what will you reflect on this winter.

Henteleff Park, 1964 St. Mary's Rd. (park in parking lot). We will start and finish by the picnic tables by the parking lot. The walk will take 50 minutes and the Cyanotype Art project will take 30 minutes. Henteleff Park is just south of Britannica Rd. Sign up form here:
