Literature & Nature Book Group

The 1st Saturday of each month, 10:30am-12pm

Calling all nature-loving bookworms! The Literature & Nature Book Group at Baltimore Woods welcomes you to nourish and enhance your appreciation of the natural world with ongoing friendly discussions of great writing on that theme. Open to all interested adult members of the community, we will meet at the Interpretive Center (or outside if weather permits) one Saturday a month to delve into a reading of fiction or creative nonfiction chosen by participants.

Our next meeting will take place on January 4 from 10:30 AM to Noon when we will be discussing The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert. Copies will be made available on reserve at the Marcellus Free Library.
