Massachusetts based, award-winning singer/songwriter Erica Wheeler will inspire
pride and appreciation for Myles Standish State Forest and turn visitors’
experiences into songs. On Saturday, August 18th from 1:00pm to 2:30pm enjoy a free
family concert that will get you in tune with nature at the Myles Standish
State Forest Amphitheater located at 194 Cranberry Road in South Carver.
Erica’s concerts take people on a journey through landscapes
and experiences, combining song, story, and humor. She evokes in listeners
their own sense of place, and through a group activity, she turns their
experiences of the park into a song. Inspirational, entertaining and
educational, her sense of place program help renew the connection between
people and place today. After the concert, visitors are invited to
