Environment

[close] We are a group of bookworms and aspiring activists. Open discussions based on relevant readings on topics such as racism, immigration, native land rights, climate change, political figures, and beyond.

[close] Whether it be an in-depth look at our natural world through essays written by past and present authors such as H.D. Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and Gary Snyder or reading authors where the landscape plays an active role in their novels, such as Willa Cather or Jack London this group will focus on how the environment plays a crucial role in literature.

[close] Natural History Book discussions, group reads and more!

[close] A reading group for those of us who love great writing about nature— In this group, we will read one book monthly, fiction or nonfiction, connected to the theme of nature and making sense of our place in the natural world. Readings will be selected by the moderator based on input and suggestions from members. Participants are encouraged to finish the reading by the goal date and contribute on the discussion threads to promote a friendly and constructive dialogue. This reading group is open to any adult Goodreads members, but will also exist as an online extension of a book club meeting in person on a monthly basis at Baltimore Woods Nature Center in Marcellus, NY (USA). Any online group members who happen to be local and wish to attend live discussions may do so by registering at BaltimoreWoods.org.
