Message-ID: <4A2CFD48.26A6.0088.3@gw.dec.state.ny.us> CONNECTING TO NATURE RETREAT AT ROGERS CENTER It is well documented that quiet time in nature is good for your health. Join staff of Rogers Environmental Education Center in Sherburne to spend time connecting to nature on Saturday, June 13 from 9:00 AM to noon. Henry David Thoreau said, *You learn that if you sit in the woods and wait, something happens.* Rachel Carson said, *Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth, find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.* Anne Frank said, **nature brings solace in all troubles.* If you are feeling rushed, harried, worried or just want to spend a little time quietly enjoying the natural world, join the staff for some activities that allow you to become aware of your senses, observe nature, reflect and share with others. Bring a folding chair, a snack and a blank notebook or small pad to use as a journal. Please call Rogers Center to register at 607-674-4017.
