Art on the Trail is traditionally held the first Saturday of the month on one of the many gorgeous loops of the Bristol Trail Network, but has been moved to the second Saturday, the 9th for the September event. These FREE gatherings are an opportunity to explore foundation skills as well as more advanced techniques for starting and maintaining a nature journal. It is a fantastic way to meet other community members who share an interest in nature, hiking, art and combining all three while out on the trail!

On September 9th we will be doing an Event Walk. Once on the trail, we will be stopping at 5 points along our chosen route to get quiet, listen and observe what is going on around us. You will be surprised and delighted by what emerges in the first 30 seconds of stillness and are encouraged to record your experiences in your journal at each stop.

We will meet at the band stand on the Town Green between 9:45am and 10am and walk down together to the Coffin Factory Loop trail head. Once there we will go over the basics of nature journaling for those who are new, and review for those who are returning. We will then begin our Event Walk there and cover a portion of the River Bend loop before retracing our steps to the Coffin Factory, where you are welcome to stay and continue sketching and recording. Sharing your work with others is welcomed if you are comfortable doing so.

This is a FREE event, open to all ages and skill levels! Please email Charon directly to register (oddangelllc@gmail.com). Many thanks to those who have joined us out on the Bristol Trail Network this summer!
