FREE Lunchtime Seminar: Finding a Story in Field Notes
Do you carry a pen and paper when you take a walk? Maybe that sounds like too much trouble, but keeping field notes can help improve our observation skills and make us better naturalists. Doreen Pfost will discuss tools and techniques for taking notes in the field and will offer tips on how to organize and use those notes. A brief reading from her recent book This River Beneath the Sky: A Year on the Platte, and will illustrate how field notes can become part of a published work.
Doreen Pfost is a writer and communications consultant who lives in Elroy, Wisconsin. She is the author of This River Beneath the Sky: A Year on the Platte (2016), a book that weaves field notes, natural history, and human history into a series of interconnected essays about Nebraska’s Platte River, where a half-million sandhill cranes stop over each year on their spring migration. Her blog, “A Naturalist Walks Home,” can be found on her website, doreenpfost.com. The blog is a how-to guide and roving memoir to help amateur naturalists deepen their connection to the land through nature study and recreation.
