Forest Bathing Walk
Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world.

Are you stumped by the differences between one kind of oak and another? How to distinguish one conifer from another? Want to sharpen your ability for quick tree recognition in the field? This is the class for you, whether you simply need a refresher on tree identification or want to improve your existing skills. This session will cover a similar group of trees as reviewed in the Winter Tree Identification workshop we held last March, with an emphasis of those traits most visible during the summer months.
We will begin in the classroom at the Center for Urban Horticulture to review the basics of tree identification techniques, the use of taxonomic keys, and to discuss the common landscape tree species and varieties used in the Pacific Northwest. This will be followed by an outdoor field session where you will practice tree identification techniques on a walk to the main campus of the University of Washington.

Speech-language pathologists implement their clinical practice by writing goals, targeting a variety of clinical behaviors, and measuring progress. There is much overlap in theory and practice between SLPs (speech-language pathologists) and ABAs (applied behavior analysts), but the similarities are not always clear across professions. The purpose of this workshop is to de-mystify jargon between the two disciplines by describing the overlapping and complementary practices in these fields in order to optimize clinical outcomes.
Who should attend?
New and “seasoned” SLPs and aides in schools, private clinics, and in-home practices, students pursuing either SLP or ABA careers, and therapists wanting to expand their interdisciplinary knowledge. Content presented is applicable to all grade levels.
Content Level: Beginner

Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world.

The Duwamish Greenbelts Management Plan identified primary management issues for the Duwamish Greenbelts Reforestation Project, some of which include lack of forest complexity, low forest age and density, and low native plant diversity/high invasive plant occurrence. Several prescriptions outlined tasks for managing the vegetation of the Duwamish, which include managing hazard trees, thin dense forest stands, and identifying/creating canopy gaps.
The prescription area is a 24-acre hardwood-dominated forest site to be treated by creating canopy gaps in combination with other restoration practices in order to promote site conditions conducive to conifer establishment and increased native forest diversity. Attendees will understand the reasoning behind, use of, and lessons learned in thinning and other techniques used on this urban forest restoration project.
This foot tour will primarily be held on uneven terrain with some steep elevation changes. Please wear appropriate footwear.

Metaethics is one of the most exciting, rapidly growing, and interdisciplinary parts of contemporary philosophy. Though this area draws heavily from the usual canon of European philosophers (in particular, Plato, Aristotle, Hume, and Kant), it has paid almost no attention to less canonical philosophers and other intellectual traditions. The aim of the “Lost Voices” project is to bring more voices into the conversation. This conference, and resulting volume from Routledge Press, will include a collection of original papers on non-mainstream thinkers from five continents. These thinkers range from the communities of ancient Egypt and China to members of the Muskogee nation and Susan Sontag, and the talks focus on metaethical issues ranging from moral discovery and moral perception to ‘quasi-realism’ and moral essences. The project therefore promises to be a…

Every Thursday, people who want to transfer to the University of Washington are invited to come to campus to meet with an adviser, find out about the admission process, learn more about the UW's academic areas of study, and attend presentations on topics such as financial aid and housing.
If you are unable to come to campus on Thursdays, call our office to speak to an adviser in person. You can also email questions to advice@uw.edu. Admissions questions can be sent to askuwadm@uw.edu.
If you have already decided on a major, you are also welcome to contact a department adviser.
Note: Students already offered admission to the UW should sign up for an Advising & Orientation date rather than attending Transfer Thursday.

Description
How prepared would you consider yourself to be in an emergency? Many of us don’t like to think about what can go wrong, but having basic response skills and an understanding of possible risks can help alleviate many fears we have regarding emergencies. That’s why this year we’re partnering with Stacie Louviere, UW’s Seismic Resilience Program manager for an Earthquake Awareness and Personal Preparedness seminar. At this event, Louviere will give us all an overview of UW Emergency Management, earthquake risks specific to the Puget Sound, personal preparedness basics, and what an earthquake response should look like at the UW. Join us and become empowered to take emergency readiness into your own hands and to become educated as to what resources are available to you in an emergency.

Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world.
Cost: $25
