Celebrate Bee Day with a Land Trust 'Haiku Hike'
Celebrate Bee Day with a Land Trust 'Haiku Hike'
(Easy/ about 2 hours / around .75 miles)
In honor of Bee Day (on May 20th), discover nature and poetry with the Land Trust of North Alabama and WLRH! On Saturday, May 17th you can register to take a short hike at the Blevins Gap Nature Preserve in Huntsville. Observe spring among the trees, walk with us to the overlook and Marie’s Garden, our pollinator garden completed in the fall of 2024. As you take time in the garden to rest and discover our native plants blooming, you can meditate on the bees and other pollinators that use this garden. You’ll have this time to craft a Bee Day haiku with an opportunity to share your creation if you choose.
What’s a haiku? A Japanese poem with three lines and seventeen syllables (five in line one, seven in line two, and five in line three) traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
Take a Huntsville hike.
Let bees and flowers inspire.
Write a fun poem!
