Writing About Place: A Guided Hike with the Hopkinton Land Trust
Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 10am
Join us for a guided hike as part of the Writing About Place collaborative series, connecting landscape, poetry, and close observation on conserved land. By deepening how we notice, describe, and connect with the landscapes around us, writing can also strengthen our understanding of why conservation and stewardship matter to our communities.
Hosted by the Hopkinton Land Trust, this program includes stops at two Poetry of the Wild poetry box installations along the trail at Canonchet Brook Preserve, featuring poems by Miles Hardingwood, and George Eliot. Participants will also be invited to pause and write along the way.
The Hopkinton Land Trust protects over 1,400 acres of working farmland, forests, wildlife habitat, and scenic landscapes across Hopkinton.
All are welcome. Participants are asked to preregister Here.
