PLAYA Experience: A Naturalist’s Way of Seeing

(direct link: https://playasummerlake.org/product-category/workshops/2025-workshops-experiences/naturalist-way-of-seeing-2025/)
Explore the highly diverse ecosystems in and around Summer Lake with an experienced guide, naturalist, and artist in this 4-night Experience May 22-26! Prices from $456.

Agenda highlights:
🪲 Group field trips to Paisley, Winter Ridge, Summer Lake Wildlife Area, and Lake Abert
🪲 Experiential lectures emphasizing plants and wooded ecosystems, birds and wetland ecosystems, geology, and more!
🪲 Ample independent time for studio work and exploring

Science and art merge in a naturalist’s approach to viewing and understanding nature. In this Experience, participants will visit several diverse ecosystems (wetlands, high desert, pine forest) and practice the art of “seeing.” The instructor will provide a working framework for thinking about life history strategies (including ecological concepts such as herbivory, predation, migration, foraging, competition, cooperation, reproduction, parental care, and social behavior) of animals and plants. There will be time in the field and at the PLAYA campus for independent journaling, field sketching, and photography. Participants can share their work with others, and the instructor is happy to provide individualized feedback.

Deep dive into birding with this guide! Attend the two Experiences back to back and stay at PLAYA for free in between!

Both of these Experiences include:

🦅 4-night stay in private or shared accommodations on the serene PLAYA campus in Summer Lake, OR
🦅 1 group dinner

Walt Anderson is an accomplished author, wildlife artist, photographer, lecturer, and expedition guide who taught environmental studies courses for 27 years for Prescott College in Arizona. He is a pioneer of ecotourism with experience around the globe.
