Explore the relationship between stories and nature. Take a guided nature walk on the Belhaven Mountain Bike Trails, where Director of the Center for American Indian Research and Studies, Tammy Greer, will highlight native and culturally significant plants and the stories behind them. Next, at the Eudora Welty House & Garden, the Millsaps College Eudora Welty Chair of Southern Literature and Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing, Michael Pickard, will lead a writing prompt followed by time to write and create on the grounds. After the workshop, participants have the option to take a complementary tour of Welty's home. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. There is no fee to participate, but registration is required.
