We’re delighted to offer this new free program in partnership with the Grafton Public Library. The library is able to offer copies for borrowing with advance notice, and all participants will be sent a list of questions we’ll use as a guide for our discussions. Although the program is free, we do ask for pre-registration so that we’ll be able to order books and deliver the questions. To register for discussion questions and to reserve a book, send an email directly to Michelle Dufort at: librarian@graftonpubliclibrary.org However, feel free to join us as a walk-in at 6 pm!

Join us for our discussion of The Hidden Life of Trees, by Peter Wohlleben, on March 25th.

Are trees social beings? In this international bestseller, forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.

After learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again. We look forward to a robust and lively conversation around this wonderful book!
