UNC Asheville’s 45-acre urban forest has been a cherished community resource and wildlife habitat for decades. It’s now under threat of development, despite its status as one of the last remaining urban forests in Asheville.

Gather together to develop connection with these woods and generate awareness around saving them through poetry. All are welcome, no experience with poetry needed. Featured poets will share nature themed works to invite us into our creative connection with the earth. The next invitation will be to put pen to paper and write your own poem about your personal experience with these woods. You will be invited to share your draft aloud with the group and encouraged to later finish your poem to submit to our Poetry for the Woods poetry collection. This event will also be a great opportunity to find out more about saving the UNCA Woods and to find out about upcoming calls to action.
