Ecology Book Club
The Ecology Book Club was originally developed as a capstone project for a group of Cedar Creek Master Naturalists in 2017. Since then, it has grown into a lively group that meets monthly to discuss and dissect books related to environmental issues. Fiction, non-fiction, heavy, light - we read it all! Books are selected by the club members, and no scientific expertise or background is necessary to participate. You don't even need to have finished the book!
We meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm, in the Lindeman Research and Discovery Center. Directions are here.

May 22nd, 6:30pm: Deep Woods, Wild Waters: A Memoir by Douglas Wood
