Nature Writing Retreat
August 7, 2026

Nature Writing Retreat

Great Mountain Forest will host this 3-day retreat for both established and emerging writers, with limited enrollment to foster interactions between attendees and the award-winning authors and naturalists who will lead the retreat sessions.

This Retreat offers a choice of 3 out of 6 sessions, a luncheon-talk about publishing work, guided walks, journaling workshops, and more. Experiencing this Retreat in one of New England’s largest conservation easements of more than 6,000 acres of contiguous forest and woodland habitat will certainly be inspiring.

Registration is open for early-bird discounts through May 31 ($385; $285 for students) and then $435/$335 after May 31. Camp-style lodging is available ($70/two nights), or attendees can book lodging at a local inn or airbnb, or commute. The weekend will include catered meals and refreshments.
