Nature Writing Workshop

Press Release  Friends of Hagerman

On Sunday, January 19, Dr. William B. Hughes will lead a Nature Writing

Workshop at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, from 2:30 – 4 pm.  Dr. Hughes, who has had articles published in several nature magazines, says the workshop will cover in detail the steps involved in writing a nature article for publication.

Hughes has had a lifelong interest in birds, inspired by his father.  Following retirement from a career as a research chemist, his desire to share his birding experiences has prompted him to pursue writing about birds on such diverse subjects as the history of bird study in America and bird fables.  Examples of his articles have appeared in Bird Watcher’s Digest and Missouri Prairie Journal.

The workshop is free of charge but advance registration is required; participants may register online at http://www.friendsofhagerman.com/Activities, or may call the Refuge, 903 786 2826.  The workshop is limited to 15 participants.

Hagerman NWR is located at 6465 Refuge Road, Sherman, Texas, 75092, on the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma.  Participants will meet in  the Visitor Center at the Refuge.

Lake Texoma is a mecca for anyone who loves to study the great outdoors.  Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge attracts thousands of birding enthusiast, nature photographers and writers each year.  For more information about Lake Texoma visit www.texomaconnect.com.
