Do you love nature and writing? Join a small group of like-minded individuals to read and/or reconnect with, and then discuss, the best environmental literature of all time: representative excerpts from the likes of Thoreau, Burroughs, Muir, Leopold, Beston, Krutch, Eiseley, Carson, Abbey, Lopez, Kimmerer, and others. If participants have interest, we will also do a little nature writing, each of us creating a short personal narrative for group discussion.
The workshop series will be held at the Irvin L. Young Library’s Community Room every Thursday evening in February at 5:30 p.m. and will be led by Jim Nies – a retired educator, author of several children’s nature books, editor of an environmental lit anthology, and founding member of the Arboretum At Starin Park.
