Walk at Walden with Climate Writer/Activist Wen Stephenson and Jane D. Marsching
Join climate writer/activist Wen Stephenson and me in a walking event that reconsiders the radical politics of Thoreau in our time. Connect observation, environmental awareness, aesthetic action, and social change to the climate crisis now. We will walk from Walden Pond to Brister’s Hill nearby and as we do we will consider what is nature, what is changing, and what is radicalism today?
When: Thu June 20 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Where: meet at Walden Pond parking kiosk, Concord, MA
