Writing Nature Series
A collaboration between the Hudson Valley Writers’ Center and Teatown.
Nature-based literature has inspired generations of environmental advocates and conservationists. From Thoreau’s Walden to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, nature writing helps connect us with our environment.
The “Writing Nature Series” will feature environmentally-themed book recommendations and live readings by nature writers at Teatown and at the HVWC in Sleepy Hollow.
