Guided Nature-Writing Hike with Charlestown Land Trust

Join us for a guided hike as part of the Writing About Place collaborative series, connecting landscape, poetry, and close observation on conserved land. By deepening how we notice, describe, and connect with the landscapes around us, writing can also strengthen our understanding of why conservation and stewardship matter to our communities.

Hosted by the Charlestown Land Trust, this program includes stops at two Poetry of the Wild poetry box installations along the trail at Mill Pond Preserve, featuring poetry by Susan Killingbeck. Participants will also be invited to pause and write along the way.

The Charlestown Land Trust protects nearly 700 acres of ecological, historic, scenic, agricultural, and educational significance in Charlestown.

Saturday, May 23rd at 10am (Rain date: May 24th)
