Art, Nature, and Fresh Air: Youth Explore Lake Elise through Andy Goldsworthy-Inspired Hike
What happens when you mix a scenic lakeside trail, a documentary on a world-renowned nature artist, and the boundless creativity of youth? You get an unforgettable morning of outdoor exploration and natural art-making!
On July 16, CLCC, the Middlebury Land Trust, and the Afro-Caribbean Cultural Center teamed up to host a special Pathways to Nature: Art and Hike event. As part of the Center's summer program, this exclusive field trip brought an inquisitive group of youth to Middlebury Land Trust’s beautiful Lake Elise property for a day dedicated to creative expression and environmental appreciation.
