Housatonic Heritage and Great Mountain Forest will offer a three-day environmental writing retreat from August 7 through 9 at the Yale Camp on Canaan Mountain.
This retreat is inspired by the life and legacy of longtime New York Times nature columnist, prolific author and outdoorsman Hal Borland, who lived in Salisbury. The courses will emphasize accurate and evocative description, encouraging writers to tap into their scientific and environmental concerns and their personal involvement in the landscape and its history.
Enrollment is limited to foster deeper engagement between participants and presenters. Participants will have the opportunity to submit work developed during the retreat to an online anthology to be published in the fall.
To get early pricing for the retreat, fees must be paid in full by May 31.
