Program Details
Explore various forms of nature writing, then research and write your own Field Note during this online, workshop-based six-part class! You'll work alongside myself, Field Notes editor Allison De Jong, and your fellow participants to create, workshop, and share your very own Field Note.
This class will be a delightful combination of natural history and creativity. You’ll get to explore a natural history topic of your choice, practice different writing techniques, get and give feedback on your and others’ writing in a small, supportive workshop setting, and finish the class with a lovely natural history essay that’s ready to be shared with the Montana Public Radio listening area (if you wish!).
Course fee includes a copy of the beautiful Field Notes from the Montana Natural History Center book, a collection of 134 Field Notes as well as original artwork from dozens of naturalists from the program’s first 25 years. We’ll read and discuss several of these Field Notes in class, and the rest of the book is yours to enjoy at your leisure.
Offered through the Montana Natural History Center in Missoula, this six-part course requires advance registration.
