Poetry in the Preserves

In addition to wildflowers, April also brings us National Poetry Month. To celebrate the close relationship between poetry and nature, this month Midpen docents are sharing poetry readings from various Midpen open space preserves.

We encourage you to write a poem (or maybe two) throughout the month of April. Consider finding a beautiful place in open space to visit for inspiration, and then post your poem to social media with the hashtag #MidpenPoetry!

To view more of the “Poetry in the Preserves” series, check out Midpen’s social media throughout the month of April.

Our first video features Docent Naturalist Greg Hughes reading Windy Hill by Denise Hughes at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve.
