Forest Bathing

Wed, Apr 21, 2021

Want to relax, unwind, and connect to nature? Forest bathing (which doesn’t actually involve “bathing”) is a Japanese form of “eco-therapy” that developed in the 1980s, which offers an antidote to tech-boom burnout and enables you to reconnect with and protect nature.  What is Forest Bathing? Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, originated in Japan in the 1980, and can be defined as making contact with and taking in the atmosphere of the forest. The goal of forest bathing is to slow down and. become immersed in nature, to take in your surroundings using all your senses. Tune into the sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and textures of the natural environment.  Benefits of Forest Bathing: Health effects include: lower concentrations of cortisol lower pulse rates lower blood pressure greater parasympathetic nerve activity greater appreciation for nature decreased stress Forest Bathing Locations: The Poe Prairie BGSU Tech Pond The Ridge Wintergarden/St. John's Nature Preserve Slippery Elm Trail Simpson Garden Park City Park For more bathing locations Questions?

Track Your Community Engagement Activities with Collaboratory

Wed, Apr 21, 2021 12pm to 1pm

Virtual Event

This workshop is an opportunity to see a demonstration of a new online community engagement tracking system, Collaboratory, and to learn about how you can share the public impact story of your community engagement activities by using this tool. Collaboratory is a centralized online platform for reporting, tracking, and sharing community engagement and public service work conducted by faculty, staff, students, and their community partners This activity could be in the form of teaching, research, public service, programs, and other campus/community partnerships. Earlier this year BGSU invested in Collaboratory and the BGSU Center for Public Impact was identified as the managing unit. The Collaboratory platform has both an external and internal component, which enables users to curate a publicly accessible record of their community-engaged work, while also providing institutional data for university strategic development, assessment, and benchmarking.  The Collaboratory will enhance BGSU’s ability to share our public impact story by providing a centralized location in which public impact work across BGSU and the greater Northwest Ohio community can be reported and shared. It will also enable us to map partnerships, identifying community partners who are engaged with several collaborators at BGSU, as well as opportunities to develop new impactful partnerships.
