Field Notes at Metolius Preserve
2014-08-09 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Katie Eberhart to explore the Metolius Preserve with the pen of a writer. Walking the land can be a great way to heighten your senses and feed your writing. Walk with us to see and hear more acutely, feel the fresh air, and smell new aromas. Then, through field notes, capture the specifics of a place that may later help trigger or contribute to poems, essays, or fiction. Writing exercises, discussion and optional sharing are all part of the process. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.
Rating: Easy, ~1 mile walk.
What to Bring: Paper/notebook, pens/pencils, and, if you wish, a lightweight chair or pad.
