Third Saturday Walks in the Elfin ForestNovember 18, 9:30 a.m. Literary Stroll
Do you enjoy having someone read to you? Herešs your chance! Take a literary stroll through the Elfin Forest with Robert Pavlik. Bob has an interesting job. He's a historian for Caltrans, and his book collection includes many by California natural history writers. As you stroll along the boardwalk with him, Bob will introduce you to a variety of authors and poets who have written about natural history, and will apply their perceptions to the Central Coast. December 16, 9:30 a.m. Sketch Walk
Join artist Barbara Renshaw for a stroll along the Elfin Forest boardwalk to take in the views of the Morro Bay estuary and sandspit from the Bush Lupine Point and Siena's View overlooks. Youšll stop in the Woodrat Hall oak grove to marvel at the ancient gnarled coast live oak trees. As you go, you can sketch the bay, birds on the saltmarsh, oaks, or some of the Forestšs varied plant life. No drawing experience is necessary. Bring a pad of drawing paper (no larger than 9-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches), colored pencils or pastels, and some drinking water. Consider bringing a camera too. You'll be surprised how quickly you discover the artist in you! When and Where?
