In collaboration with Wild Alabama - Join us for a day of immersion in an ancient canyon in the Bankhead National Forest with a special focus on the power and vitality of Eastern Hemlock forests. We’ll be writing generative poetry emerging from immersive invitations and writing prompts. Some of this work will become part of an exhibition by Alabama Artists and Poets inspired by the beauty and importance of the Eastern Hemlock forest ecosystem, and the threat that these forests face.

The project culminates in a show of paintings and poetry at Lowe Mill Arts in Huntsville October 4 - November 19, 2023.
