Tales from the Trail Book Club

Event Summary

Explore the natural world through words with Tales from the Trail, Hartman Reserve's nature-themed book club! With new picks every two months, members will have the opportunity to expand their world view while learning about conservation, wildlife, and natural sciences. Members will meet on Sunday, December 13th at 1 PM to participate in guided discussion and share their thoughts and ideas.

November's pick is Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains by Bethany Brookshire. This non-fiction book is an engrossing and revealing study of why we deem certain animals "pests" and others not - from cats to rats, elephants to pigeons - and what this tells us about our own perceptions, beliefs, and actions, as well as our place as humans in the natural world. 

This event is free to the public, but pre-registration is required. Please email Marley (mmillar@blackhawkcounty.iowa.gov) to register. Members are responsible for obtaining their own copy of the book!
