Book Discussion:
A Sand County Almanac
and Sketches Here and There
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
In the library
12:30p to 1:30p
“A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.”
Come join your friends and co-workers and share your thoughts about Aldo Leopold's classic and influential work of nature writing, A Sand County Almanac. Forester, wildlife ecologist, environmental philosopher, and educator, Leopold articulated ideas in this writing that have come to be at the core of conservation ethics today. A call for a fundamental reform in humankind's relationship to the land, it is a beautifully and forcefully written account of his own encounters with wild nature and a celebration of its richness.
Please let us know at library@thoreau.org if you are interested in attending and/or if you need help finding a copy.
(And yes, since we are doing this at lunch time, you will be allowed to eat in the library - just be careful around the couch)
