The Geauga Maple Leaf recently wrote a story on the Power of JOy Hiking Group that was featured in the Hiking Through Grief documentary produced by Foundation Trustee Engelina Koberna.
The Foundation for Geauga Parks hosted a screening of the Hiking through Grief documentary at the University Hospitals (UH) Geauga Medical Center in June, and has set up a documentary fund. The documentary makers are moving forward with developing educational materials that can be used in tandem with the film by grief counselors and groups.
In addition, the Foundation has pledged $50,000 toward the development of the UH Geauga Community Wellness Trail on the grounds of the hospital in Chardon.
Both initiatives focus on the value of nature on wellness.
