HOW TO LOVE A FOREST
READING & BOOK-SIGNING WITH ETHAN TAPPER

In partnership with the Highland Center for the Arts and theGreensboro Conservation Commission and the Galaxy Bookshop.

How to Love a Forest walks us through the fragile and resilient community that is a forest, introducing us to wolf trees and spring ephemerals, to the cryptic creatures of the rhizosphere and the necrosphere. It helps us reimagine what forests are and what it means to care for them. This world, Tapper writes, is degraded both by people who do too much and by those who do nothing. As the ecosystems that sustain all life struggle, we straddle a status quo that treats ecosystems as commodities and opposing claims that the only true expression of love for the natural world is to leave it alone.
