Presenter: Carol LaChapelle
Learn to write about the nature where you live: in nearby parks and nature preserves; along rivers, lakes, and ponds; and in your own backyard. Whether in a private journal or for publication, you will learn techniques for describing the flora and fauna you encounter, and also recording and reflecting on the meaning they have for you.
All are welcome to attend, no matter your experience in journal writing or writing for others.
