In this month’s River Basin Days, we‘ll gather inspiration from nature itself to write our own nature poetry!
Date/Time: Nov 4 2023, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Maple Ridge, Kanaka Creek Regional Park
No experience necessary; our educators will guide you through some simple exercises that are sure to help you craft a poem you’ll be proud of. During the workshop, we’ll learn about different forms of poetry, ways to use descriptive language, and consider the many perspectives of poetry.
This workshop will require basic literacy skills (reading and writing). For this reason, the workshop is aimed at older children.
This event will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather.
