A Collaborative Success!
We are excited to provide you with an update on the Forest Therapy Trail at Ten16 Recovery Network’s residential facility. This project has been made possible through the invaluable collaboration with the Chippewa Nature Center and contributions & volunteers from the Midland County United Way.
A Vision in the Woods
Our Forest Therapy Trail, nestled within the 10 acres of picturesque woods behind our facility, is coming to life. It will bring a new dimension to our recovery programs and enhance the therapeutic environment we offer. This project embodies the power of nature in healing and wellness, providing our residents with a serene and immersive experience as part of their journey to recovery.
