Spring Creek Project
The Spring Creek Project brings together the practical wisdom of environmental science, the clarity of philosophy, and the transformational power of the written word and the arts to envision and inspire just and joyous relations with the planet and with one another.
We are a convening organization at Oregon State University that sponsors writing residencies, readings, lectures, and conversations on issues and themes of critical importance to the health of humans and nature.
