Environmental Writers Workshop April 23, 2011

For the third year in a row, the Burke Museum brings together a trio of outstanding writers to present a one-day workshop on writing about the environment. Award-winning authors Bruce Barcott, Langdon Cook, and Carol Yoon will lead classroom and field-based sessions, all taking place at the Center for Urban Horticulture, on the shore of Union Bay. They bring years of experience as writers, journalists, bloggers, and teachers. Each is an attentive observer who weaves together history, science, and field time into well-crafted, thought-provoking writing about the natural and cultural world. Class fee is $100, which includes lunch; Burke members receive a 10% discount. Scholarships are available for students. To register, please email [email protected] or call (206) 543-5591.
