New River Trail State Park has partnered with Mount Rogers Community Services to offer Wellness in Nature: Rooted in Wellness. This is a free program that brings people together to talk, learn, and grow.

We meet on Fridays at noon, from May through September.

The first three Fridays of the month is led by a wellness specialist and offers a relaxed, welcoming space for everyone.

Each session is a “walk and talk,” so you can move at your own pace with no pressure. All fitness levels are welcome.

On the last Friday of each month, a park ranger will lead a Nature Walk at Foster Falls.
This month's Ranger-led program is a Walk from Foster Falls to the Shot Tower.
