Small Wilderness Area Preservation (SWAP) hosts Tuning in to Nature Writers, a nature walk on the Los Osos Elfin Forest boardwalk on Saturday, Nov. 17. The walk starts at 9:30 a.m. Historian Robert Pavlik will be guiding the group and reading selections from the works of natural history writers and poets including Robinson Jeffers, Wallace Stegner, Rachel Carson, Gary Snyder, and others. Handouts will be distributed to attendees for those who want to read further.
Guests are asked to wear closed-toe shoes, long sleeves, and pants to avoid poison oak and mosquitoes. SWAP also requests attendees not to bring any pets. The walk is estimated to last an hour and a half to two hours. SWAP hosts nature walks every third Saturday. Call (805) 528-0392 for more information. Δ
