There is a retired educator and another birding expert along with me. We just teamed up. We make a handout, and I bring some poetry books for examples. We hike, then sit, write, and share if desired (no pressure) and I share photos after the event. Great way to get folks involved.

Anyone can do it! Maybe check with an Audubon in your area or another nature organization if interested. I am a Master birder volunteer but don't have any special poetry training. Audubon folks just saw my haikus on social media and asked if I wanted to help lead. That is how the idea hatched. 🪺

A few of us just started this with our local Audubon. We are talking about different poetry forms on each hike. I am a Master Birder but have no special training or expertise in poetry, just got pulled in when they saw haikus I was posting! We are talking about expanding to journaling.
