Healing with trees: the benefits of Forest Bathing, and how to do it. Author: Anne Erickson, KING 5 Evening (KING 5) Published: 3:08 PM PDT April 2, 2018 Updated: 6:15 PM PDT May 21, 2021

One thing you notice about hiking guide Georgia Newsome – she seldom leads the way.
And she stops a lot.
Because this journey s not about the destination. It s not about getting anywhere, it s about being somewhere.
As she leads a group through Bright Angel Park in British Columbia, she stops to appreciate budding leaves. Stroke moss. Sniff at a white fungus growing on a downed log. Or simply listen.
This is Forest Bathing . Or Shinrin-Yoku . It was developed in Japan in the 1980 s and is an actual healthcare practice in Japanese medicine. A prescription with no co-pay that lowers blood pressure and raises immunity. An antidote to a stressful life.

Derry Glenn, 6th Ward Lima Councilman, announced plans Sunday for this year’s MLK Jr. march and awards. “I don’t care if we have five people walking, we’re still going to walk,” Glenn said. “It’s very important that we do this with the way things are going right now.”
LIMA This year’s Martin Luther King Junior activities will be a bit different, according to 6th Ward Councilman Derry Glenn, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Everything has been changed now. This was our 39th annual MLK banquet. What we will be doing this year on Jan. 18, we will have our annual march to start from the Whittier School site into Martin King Park. We will start at 2 p.m. We will be doing our awards presentation at 1 p.m. (also at the Whittier School site).
