The restored wetlands of the Celery Fields provide the setting for this guided, slow-paced walking session focused on environmental mindfulness. Rather than a rigorous hike or an academic birding tour, the excursion emphasizes sensory awareness and quiet observation of the surrounding coastal habitat. An instructor leads the group along the elevated berms and marsh edges, introducing breathing techniques and prompting participants to listen to the rustle of the sawgrass and the calls of wading birds. The outdoor gathering utilizes the natural acoustics and open skies of the county's primary stormwater treatment area to facilitate stress reduction and mental clarity.
