For the Legacy Leaving event, we are fortunate to have a guest speaker: Daniel J. Philippon, Environmental Author of Conserving Words; How American Nature Writers Shaped the Environmental Movement. Also at the event you can hear about the project process, see drawings of the design and the location where it will be installed, and -- most importantly -- express your appreciation of nature in prose or poetry and become part of the art. Instructions and rules for submitting writing will be given at the event, and posted online afterwards. The due date for writing submissions will be June 30th, 2008. The Westwood Hills Nature Center is full of sources of inspiration both outdoors and from the interpretive materials available in the building. Community writings will be incorporated into the installation and unveiled at the “Nest Raising" event later this summer.
