In these challenging times, it is important to find creative ways to cope with stress. Nature walks are a wonderful solution for many people. We can use photography to connect deeply with our surroundings.We will have a Zoom lecture one morning and then a local field trip, on another morning, with social distancing. For the field trip, GAC will supply masks, gloves and hand sanitizer at the site. Instructor will help students station themselves for proper social distancing in the outdoor setting. Please note: class meets 6/22 10am-11am and 6/29 10am-12pm.
