The Forest Preserve District of Will County will host a Stress-Free Hike for Women 16 and older from 9:30 to 11 a.m., November 25 and December 30, at the Four Rivers Environmental Education Center, in southwest suburban Channahon.

These women-only events are a great way to get outside for a quick, mindful fitness walk amid the holiday season and let the cool air lead to calmness. The naturalist-led hike may have a few stops along the way to enjoy the tranquility of the natural world. After finishing, participants can take a moment to sip on hot beverages, look out at the Des Plaines River and watch the birds, boats and busyness go by.

Free admission. Location: 25055 S. Walnut Lane, Channahon. Registration is required by Nov. 24 and Dec. 29 at 815-722-9470 or ReconnectWithNature.org.
