Ecology Book Club

Are you interested in our impact on Planet Earth? The web of life? Climate change? Nature? Ecology? If so, this book club is the place for you! Join us as we continue our journey of lifelong learning! We meet the 4th Wednesday of each month at the Lindeman Center.

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.
