SUMMARY:Hiking Haikus
DESCRIPTION:Today's Adventure Ecology:\n\nJoin the Squam Lakes Association for a morning of hiking and learning about the Japanese poetry form known as haiku.  We will meet at 9 AM at the Whitten Woods trailhead and then hike 1.7 miles out and back\, stopping at the south peak to discuss what a haiku is and how it is a wonderful art form for capturing the beauty of nature. We will then take some time to practice writing haikus inspired by what we see\, hear\, and feel around us. This is a great program for anyone looking to appreciate nature using a fun and simple poetry form. If you enjoy creative expression and hiking\, we hope to have you join us for this program!\n\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n    \n        Register\n\n        \n        \n                \n\n    \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\nWhat to bring\n\nPlease bring a notebook/ paper and a writing utensil.

I graduated from Keene State College in 2024 where I studied Environmental Studies and Spanish. I developed a deep love for nature by growing up spending my time in the woods and lakes of NH; hiking\, day dreaming\, and looking for wildlife. Travel\, experiential learning\, and service based learning have greatly influenced my education and interests. I am excited to be back in my beautiful home state to learn more about lake conservation while helping to teach the public about all things ecology.  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\nHighland St\, Ashland\, NH 03217\n\n\n  \n              \n    \n                      \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n      \n      \n        \n      \n      \n      Whitten Woods\,   Ashland\, NH \n      \n                  \n\n      \n    \n\n  \n\n\nThis 500+ acre property is owned by the New England Forest Foundation (NEFF).
