SUMMARY:Creak\, Crack\, Crunch: The Poetry of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Today's Adventure Ecology:\n\nSnow quiets the landscape and our minds\, spend this winter day embracing the restfulness of the season. Lakes Region Conservation Member Emma Murray will lead a 1.0 mile  guided poetry stroll on the ice on Sunday\, February 23 2025. From 2-4 pm we will immerse ourselves in the frozen landscape and take inspiration from the sounds of nature to create landscape inspired poetry. Get ready to be creative as there will be multiple stops on the hike to hear and write your own poem. The construction of ice on the lake is very important to the health and productivity of the lake itself but also offers a path for community engagement and recreation. Many authors throughout the years have been inspired by nature and the winter landscape is no exception\, connect to your creative side like New Hampshire poets Thomas Bailey Aldrich\, Phillip Booth and Sam Walter Foss and even Robert Frost. Participants will meet at the SLA headquarters where hot beverages will be provided to warm up before and after the program (If you’d like to bring a travel mug you can indulge on the ice as well.) All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by adults.\n\n    \n                                    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n    \n        Register now\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 be sure to bring a small journal or notebook to write down your poems.
