Nature Writing
Tuesday, April 13, 6:00 – 7:30 pm
How many of us can remember the first time we were enchanted by some aspect of the natural world through the pages of a book? Nature writing is a special way of sharing the wonder of the outdoors with someone who may never have a chance to experience it otherwise – or inspire someone to make the trek to see it for themselves! Join environmental educator and blogger Dr. Maria Wheeler-Dubas online for an interactive evening exploring tips, tricks, and reminders about the arts of writing and storytelling; then try your hand at creating your own written piece! Have paper, pencils, or an open Word document ready; ignore that voice of insecurity; and let your inner nature writer shine. Registration is required to receive the Zoom meeting invitation link.
Camping 101
Tuesday, April 20, 7:00 pm
