Join us on the first Saturday of each month for a gathering inspired by the life and work of beloved poet Mary Oliver. This club is a welcoming space for anyone looking to deepen their connection with the natural world and enjoy the beauty of our local trails.

Together, we’ll share readings and take mindful group walks—celebrating the earth with the same joy, curiosity, and reverence that Mary Oliver brought to her poetry. You’re welcome to bring a favorite poem to share, or simply listen and soak in the words, the breeze, and the birdsong. Everyone is welcome—yes, even dogs!

Whether you're a longtime poetry lover or just looking for a peaceful and safe way to connect with nature, we would love to walk with you!

This month’s trail: White Oak Trail at Burns Park
Trail difficulty: Easy
