April is National Poetry Month, April 22 is Earth Day and April 17 is International Haiku Poetry Day. In celebration of all three, The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve and Conservation Farm is offering the annual "Haiku Hike" on Saturday, April 23, from 1 to 2 p.m.

"We will walk the trails, look for wildlife and—you guessed it—try our hands at writing haikus about nature in Spring," said Anne Coburn-Griffis. "Last year we wrote seven in an hour."
