SUMMARY:Writing from Nature\, and the Nature of Writing with James McCullough
DESCRIPTION:Bring gratitude\, curiosity\, pen\, paper\, lunch\, water\, and head east of Wolverine\, into the vast Pigeon River Forest\, to Greenwood Foundation\, a 2000-acre non-profit wildlife haven where we will forget about the world for a while\, lighten up\, create new friends; observe the living earth; write and reflect in the tradition of American nature writing. We will consider how our stories can shape the attitudes of future generations. Come with your friendly disposition\, observant eyes and reflective mind. Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear\, including something for sitting on dewy ground and clothing that protects from inclement weather.  Full bathrooms will be available\, and coffee will be provided\, but bring your own journals\, pens\, food and drinks ample enough for a full day of activity.  Bring a hat\, bug repellent if you need it\, and sunscreen. This event will be held rain or shine. Indoor space is available. The focus of the morning session\, after we meet and greet\, will be to introduce Nature Writing and Literature as a genre- discuss narrative\, individual goals; read and discuss sample literature; conduct writing exercises focused on keen observations\, detailed descriptions\, and personal reflections. We will create as much rough writing as we can before lunch break so we can work with it after lunch when we ask\, “Now what?”  We will share in small groups\, address\, possibilities with purpose\, form and the art of the first-person narrative. We will help each other consider what audiences might find compelling\, and how to connect with them.  We will note what could or should develop\, what can be cut\, tightened or turned to active voice\, creating versions for varying effects. There will be time for revisions and mentorship. We will close the day by celebrating our accomplishments with our readings\, final thoughts\, and feedback. \nJames McCullough grew up in Petoskey in the 60’s and 70’s\, fly fishing spring to fall\, hunting fall to winter\, skiing until spring. He is an award-winning author and an educator who shares his love for nature\, encourages close observation\, reflection\, and creativity\, as we leave behind our best memories for future generations.\nLIMITED TO 15 PARTICIPANTS. \n

SUMMARY:Wild Wednesday: Leaves Changing: Photoperiod & Tree Biology
DESCRIPTION:Join LTC environmental education staff at the Charlevoix Public Library for an evening exploring what is actually happening inside a tree when northern Michigan turns color. Fall foliage is one of the most visible biological events of the year\, yet the mechanisms driving it are surprisingly little discussed. We’ll look at why some years blaze more brilliantly than others\, and what soil\, moisture\, and temperature have to do with it. This all-ages program is designed for anyone who has ever pulled over on a northern Michigan road in October and wanted to understand what they were actually seeing.
