Description

Hike + Write in LaBoiteaux! Led by a UC writer and Cincy Parks naturalist, we'll talk and write by the fire and in the woods. Celebrate spring in the woods! Chandra Frank, a Taft Doctoral Fellow whose research explores intersections of archives, waterways, gender, sexuality, and race, and Lara Wardlow, a Cincinnati Parks Naturalist, will give informal talks and lead a writing activity and hike through LaBoiteaux Woods. We know it’s technically two days after the equinox, but it’s still the first week of spring. Whether you’re a proficient outdoorsperson or new to the outdoors, we’d love to have you join us. We’ll have a fire going for those who prefer to do their writing fireside rather than on the trail. This is the first Hike + Write, a series of programs that will bring together UC writers and Cincy Parks naturalists to explore outdoor/wild spaces throughout the city. Hike + Write is for anyone who wants to spend time outdoors hiking or hanging out by the fireis interested in learning skills like identifying native plants, starting a fire, or building a shelter is curious about the history and ecology of Cincinnati is interested in thinking, talking, and writing about the natural world and our place in it
