SUMMARY:Nature Book Club: July
DESCRIPTION:Nature Book Club: July\n\n\n\nThe Brushwood Nature Book Club is a space to talk about and explore nature literature in a friendly environment. Each meeting includes discussion\, creative writing\, and/or art activities to engage with the themes of the chosen book\, led by Brushwood’s Poet-in-Residence Kathryn Haydon\, and writer-artist Megan Donahue.   \n\n\n\nThis summer\, we’re revisiting some of the classics of American nature literature and exploring how they resonate today.  \n\n\n\nOur July book is A Sand County Almanac: Sketches Here and There\, by Aldo Leopold. Through science\, history\, humor and prose\, Leopold uses A Sand County Almanac and its call for a land ethic to communicate the true connection between people and the natural world. First published in 1949\, it became one of the most venerated conservation books in the 20th century. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

It was published in 1911\, based on field notes from an 1869 trip Muir made to the Sierra Nevada\, traveling with a shepherd and flock of sheep. The book was influential in popularizing the (complicated) idea of an American wilderness\, and was crucial in building public support for the preservation of Yosemite National Park.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
