Michael and Heather will lead participants on a nature walk and a writing workshop in and around Boston Pond and the Paavola Wetlands Reserve. Discussions along the way include the kinds and causes of environmental change—some natural, some human-made—in these local ecologies. While visiting the sites, we also discuss the technical, environmental, and figurative language we use in apprehending and describing nature. No previous formal writing experience is necessary and writing journals are provided.
