Course Description: Writing Workshop: Nature Writing

Living in Central Oregon, we all have experience with nature, but sometimes it can be hard to capture: you don't want to interrupt a peaceful moment with a photo, or maybe there's an idea that you want to use nature to convey. In this class, you will learn what makes great nature writing, how to notice small things and describe�them in vivid detail, how to bring your reader on a journey with you and how to translate your experiences outdoors to ideas inside. Bring your stories and inspiration to this workshop-style class, or just come ready to share your passion for nature in written form. Either way, you will leave with a renewed sense of wonder, and actionable ideas for writing about our world.
