Join the librarians and readers from Carpenter-Carse Library, Charlotte Library & Pierson Library for an outdoor perambulation and discussion of books on the subject of our big, beautiful world.

For this session, we will meet at Geprags Park in Hinesburg (554 Shelburne Falls Rd, Hinesburg, VT 05461) to discuss

Our Better Nature by Curt Lindberg. We'll be joined by the author and by members of Hinesburg's Conservation Commission for a walk featuring a landscape shaped by beaver activity. In the event of rain, we will meet in the community room at Carpenter-Carse Library.

CCL patrons, contact beth@carpentercarse.org to RSVP and request a copy of the book.

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 what we all must: Of all the challenges facing the planet, the loss of biodiversity and the current extinction crisis are among the gravest. In the face of this, and in light of Wilson's optimism in spite of it, Our Better Nature offers messages of hope.
