Pack water, snacks, and a poem, song, or rap for the Sunset Poetry Hike. An open mic hike for all ages and abilities!
This is the opening event of the Earth Day Festival organized by the Friends of Inwood Hill Park! The hike will start at the Isham street entrance, wander around the shoreline of the cove, then head up the Blue Trail to Overlook Meadow for sunset before we finally hike out together at dusk. We'll break along the way for poetry about natural spaces and our relationships to land. We'll also offer time for anyone who wants to share work: their own creation or something that inspires them.
Please wear sturdy closed toe shoes and bring a flashlight or headlamp for the hike out. All ages and ability levels are welcome for both the hike and readings.
The guided hike will be led and hosted by local poet Donnie Welch, a Super Steward trail maintainer with the Natural Areas Conservancy. Registration required.
