A FarmCoast Winter Conversation and Reading Series
Join us for a four-part winter gathering that brings together readers, writers, and environmental stewards to explore one essential question: What is our relationship to land and water?
Sundays, 2–4 PM
Jan. 11 • Feb 8 • Feb. 22 • Mar. 1
Each session offers its own mix of reading, conversation, and writing, focused on our relationship to land and water. Designed to appeal to a wide community audience, the series integrates local viewpoints, writers from around the area, and a variety of facilitators including environmental stewards, land & water farmers, and writers.
Come read, share, or write in our local winter conversation series!
