is the Word: Journaling, Poetry, Non-Fiction Writing, and

workshop. A poet’s eye and gift for language is very
similar to the detailed observation and ability to
communicate complex ideas required of field ecologists.
In this workshop you will learn some tips for effective
journaling. You will learn to use poetry to write
clearer more exciting essays and turn your field notes
into publishable articles. Come to celebrate the voices
of nature and find your voice in the natural world.

workshop and the presentation at Mosquito Hill for $8
total. |
