April is Poetry Month!
Poetry in the Park connects people to nature by engaging our senses with the environment around us.
Made possible through partnerships with these local library systems.
Join us for Guided Walks in April!
Poetry signs will be posted in April throughout
Adriana Hess Wetland Park for self-guided walks.
In partnership with the Pierce County Library System, we'll be hosting three poetry nature walks at Adriana Hess Wetland Park. We'll also have an ongoing display of poetry signs with new poems being added throughout the month! Attendees are encouraged but not required to bring a nature related poem of their own to share.
