Hi fellow animals! I wanted to share about a project that my friend kicked off within the last year here in Virginia. I love the concept so much that I hope others are inspired to do something similar. It’s called Poetry on the Trail and it is located along the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail in King George, Virginia.
The trail “provides the unique opportunity to explore poems by Virginian writers, surrounded by acres of preserved, natural beauty and is the perfect place to pause, meditate, and deepen your connection to the environment through the intersection of poetry and nature.” It showcases “the natural resources celebrated by the region’s writers.”
In short, Poetry on the Trail combines all the best things in life: writing, nature, and mindfulness!
And if you’re in the area, check out a poem I wrote about beavers at mile 8.7 🙂
