Want to become more intentional with your observations?\nThis program encourages you to slow down and connect with nature\, awakening your senses and deepening your bond with Mother Earth. We’ll have fun noticing small\, delightful natural details. Whether you’re an experienced artist\, a beginner\, or simply love nature\, this program helps you attune to its beauty and complexity.\nWe will walk a short distance from the parking lot\, through the woods and up into Andorra Meadow where we’ll explore ways to strengthen observational skills and use creative writing to enhance visual art. For those interested\, we’ll share how to start a personalized nature journal to capture reflections.\nBring your playful curiosity and a tool(s) of choice—for example\, a camera; a writing pen and paper; or your favorite medium (paintbrush\, drawing pencils/paper/kneaded eraser etc.) And don’t forget to bring something to sit on.\n“When we see with clear eyes\, we know that we are surrounded by beauty. Let yourself fall in love with your life by paying attention.” – John Muir Laws\nDistance: 1 mile\nLevel: Moderate (some inclines and declines\, uneven surfaces)\nAudience: 12+\nEvent Leaders: Stan Kozakowski\, Stephanie Stein\, Jean McWilliams\, Jane Klein\nRegistration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.\nUnless otherwise specified\, Trail Ambassador Walks may be on rocky\, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery.
