About the event
Over the course of the two sessions, we will be tuning into our innate connection with the natural world and the ecosystems around us through inspiring writing activities, accessible to all. By the end of the two workshops, you will feel more confident with using writing as a powerful tool for nature connection, be more attuned to the rich variety of habitat at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes and how we can use our pens and imaginations for deep observation and recording.
