Topsmead State Forest

Join HVA volunteer and Yankee Magazine travel editor Kim Knox Beckius at Topsmead State Forest for an inspiring hour of writing "in the wild." Through suggested prompts and sharing opportunities, you'll find new words to express what you see, hear, and feel, as well as a community of people eager to pause and pick up a pen.&nbsp; 
No writing experience is required. Please bring a notebook, writing pad, or journal and pencil or pen, plus a portable chair or blanket. We will meet at 11 a.m. near the Topsmead State Forest parking lot.&nbsp; 

All attendees will be entered into a random drawing for two General Admission tickets to <a href="https://www.tradesecretsct.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Trade Secrets</a>, Connecticut's renowned garden and antiques event, on Sunday, May 17, at Lime Rock Park in Salisbury. 

The only conservation organization dedicated to the entire tri-state Housatonic Watershed, the Housatonic Valley Association acts to protect the natural character and environmental health of the region from the Berkshires to Long Island Sound.
