What is Woodland Whispers?

​The Woodland Whispers project is a collaborative community project  which seeks to give people chances to connect their feelings, words, and artistic renderings about nature through poetry, pictures, and pathways.

Project Mission

 The project’s goals are:
  • To encourage families to enjoy walks outdoors on Smithfield’s nature trails
  • To offer the opportunity for people to read poems, write poems, and leave poems in the woods
  • To display poems on selected Conservation Commission nature trails in Smithfield on a rotating basis
  • To promote reflective thinking and environmental stewardship
  • To offer the chance to creatively express thoughts and feelings about nature through writing and art
  • To reconnect people with a nature as a way of decreasing stress and improving overall well being
