Upcoming Tree Tour Saturday, May 9th, 2026 Benet Hill Monastery
Mark your calendars for this one!
We will be guided through the majestic forest of Benet Hill Monastery (a private property) by Sister Jan (NASTaP Board Member). Come see the incredible Culturally Modified Trees the property has to offer. In addition, we will be introduced to the labyrinth on site, built by none other than Sister Jan herself. The sacredness of this property is exceptional - you will feel and sense this when you are there.
When turning into the monastery drive (3190 Benet Lane) off of Highway 83, stay on main drive until you see a parking lot off to your right. Meet there between 9:45 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
* Tour will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.
* Bring a snack/water/ pole.
Due to being on private property, with access permission required, this tour is reserved for NASTaP members only, and a waiver will be signed prior to the tour. (Photos with tree locations will not be permitted.) We appreciate the monastery opening up this opportunity for us, and we pledge to be respectful of their privacy.
If you are a NASTaP member and are interested in attending, please e-mail: heidi.wigand.nicely@gmail.com
Only those signing up in advance will be permitted on the grounds. We thank you for your understanding.
