Join the librarians and readers from Carpenter-Carse Library, Charlotte Library and Pierson Library for an outdoor perambulation and discussion of "Our Better Nature" by Curt Lindberg. We'll also be joined by the author and members of Hinesburg's Conservation Commission for a walk featuring a landscape shaped by beaver activity.

Grounded in experience and science, "Our Better Nature: Hopeful Excursions in Saving Biodiversity", presents readers with stories, essays, and resources to guide and inspire action in favor of nature everywhere. Dedicated to pioneering biologist and author Edward O. Wilson (1929–2021). A lifelong observer of nature, E. O. Wilson noted that of all the challenges facing the planet, the loss of biodiversity and the current extinction crisis are among the gravest challenges. In the face of this, and in light of Wilson's optimism in spite of it, "Our Better Nature" offers messages of hope. No registration.

Hardcopies are available at the library. Meet at Geprags Park, 554 Shelburne Falls Rd., Hinesburg. In the event of rain, we will meet in the community room at Carpenter-Carse Library, 69 Ballards Corner Rd., Hinesburg.
