Nature Workshop at the Glen - May 1

You are invited to participate in Tecumseh Land Trust’s Responding to Nature workshop on May 1, 2010, at the Glen Helen Building .

Tecumseh Land Trust is the organization that has preserved from urban development the historically important site of the old Shawnee village at Old Town . As part of TLT’s celebration of its 20th anniversary, the one-day workshop will focus on artful responses to nature, particularly writing and drawing, and include informative displays—a great chance to sell books and distribute materials about your publication and/or organization.

Local writers Ed Davis, Bill Felker, Bill Vernon, and artist Julie Karlson will lead WORKSHOP SESSIONS, which will precede THEMED HIKES into Glen Helen with experts knowledgeable on everything from birds to history to geology. Then “FREE TIME” will allow for immediate ARTFUL RESPONSES that the hikes might inspire, with small discussion groups devoted to these responses following. Finally, a WRAP-UP SESSION will feature some of the writing and art generated by these groups.

Concurrent with the workshop, displays will emphasize material from nature-oriented organizations, magazines and books, flyers with publication information and subscription forms. Authors and publishers are invited to attend, offer their books for sale and chat with participants. For publishers and authors unable to attend, we’ll be glad to display the free material, overseen by Tecumseh Land Trust volunteers, if received before the event.

Your participation assures you the chance for a peaceful day in nature as well as an inspirational educational and networking opportunity. Also, you’ll be benefitting Tecumseh Land Trust, an award-winning organization with over 17,000 acres of farm land preserved so far, mostly in Greene County , Ohio . Please let us know if you’d like to participate and we will send you the details. Send requests to cathy@tecumsehlandtrust.org or visit our www.tecumsehlandtrust.org for more information.
