Poetry in Nature
Feb. 9, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Poetry, pictures and music will be a unique way of learning about the natural history of insects at The West Woods Nature Center in Russell Township.
The singularly different program, designed for an audience school aged and up, will feature photos and music to highlight several specific species, followed by a unique poem reading by naturalists Linda Gilbert and Tami Gingrich. The poems are first-person accounts about insect life, as told by the insects themselves.
