You will travel with professional writers and naturalists, take hikes along the Finger Lakes Trail and visit Cumming Nature Center, always paying close attention to the natural environment around you. You will write stories, dramatic dialogues, and poems probing the past, present, and future of the landscape and ecosystem before you. We will publish our own small anthology.
