SITE NO. 2: FORM & FUNCTION

River restoration expert Paul Woodworth of Save the Sound will describe basic principles and patterns of river formation in this shallow section near the top of the Quinnipiac watershed. Wear your muckin' boots or water shoes (optional)!


After a brief talk we will explore each site and sketch, then share our drawings together as a group. No drawing experience necessary! We use sketching as a tool for observing, capturing, and reflecting on our surroundings. Some art supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Bring water and sun/weather/bug protection. We will be next to a river, after all!

Heavy rain will reschedule events; check back for info.
