Since 2012 the Edwin Way Teale Artists-in-Residence Program at Trail Wood, administered by the Connecticut Audubon Society, has offered visual artists and writers one-week residencies at the former Teale homestead in Hampton, Connecticut. On Thursday, March 28 at 5 PM please join Sarah Heminway, Director of the Northeast Corner of the Connecticut Audubon Society; Richard Telford, Program Coordinator of the Edwin Way Teale Artist–in–Residence Program; Oswald Schmitz, the Oastler Professor of Population and Community Ecology; Melissa Watterworth Batt, Archivist at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut Libraries; and several former artists and writers-in-residence for a panel discussion on Teale’s Connecticut legacy. A gallery reception following the panel discussion will showcase residents’ work. Though now somewhat neglected, Edwin Way Teale was at one time Connecticut’s premier naturalist: a 20th-century Henry David Thoreau. Teale was one of the first presidents of the influential Thoreau Society, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for his non-fiction work, Wandering Through Winter.
