During the month of April, the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary is celebrating National Poetry Month by placing poems along the Sanctuary’s Paved Path. Be inspired by both nature and the art of poetry as you walk the trail. The Poetry on the Trail event will share several poems by KBS faculty, Kadeem Gilbert, and 2025 KBS LTER Artists in Residence, Mikayla Thompson, whose work explores grief, love, and joy through her poetry depicting relationships between herself, her loved ones, and the natural world.  This activity will be available during the Sanctuary’s standard operating hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
