Bird to Word

This event is in the past

Learn about bird writing, look at samples for inspiration and hear about the importance of preserving wild bird habitat with Deer Lake writer-in-residence Veronica Gaylie.

We will then go on a birdwatching walk in Confederation Park to look, listen and take notes. Learn how to weave these notebook twigs and pieces into a story.

Presented in partnership with Deer Lake Artist Residencies, City of Burnaby.
