This experiential learning course will immerse senior creative writers in the natural beauty and ecological abundance of the Rideau Lakes region of Ontario, in a senior-level seminar on the power and practice of nature writing. Through direct experience with the land, colloquium-style discussion and debate, and engagement with scientific, humanist, and indigenous perspectives on ecological practice, students will produce their own works of nature-inspired writing, while deepening their physical, imaginative, and emotional bonds with the wild.
