Highlight: The Rachel Carson Intergenerational Sense of Wonder/Sense of the Wild Contest is an extraordinary opportunity for participants from different generations to come together and express their shared love of nature. By creating poems, essays, or visual art, participants reflect on their personal experiences in the natural world, fostering a deep sense of connection between generations. This contest not only honors Rachel Carson’s environmental legacy but also offers exclusive perks such as having winning entries featured on the RCLA website.

The contest invites people of all ages to submit works that reflect the wonder and beauty found in nature. Teams can collaborate on submissions and explore nature from fresh perspectives, whether through poetry, essays, or visual art.

Participating in the contest is not just about showcasing talent, but about experiencing a deeper connection with the environment, sharing that wonder with others, and adding to Carson’s influential environmental message. Participants become part of a growing community that values creativity, intergenerational dialogue, and environmental awareness.
