It’s National Moth Week! It’s time to celebrate the beauty, life cycles, and habits of moths. Join Jeff Lougee from The Nature Conservancy to learn about some of the more unique moths found in New Hampshire.

The next book for the Environmental Book Group is: The Human Age, the World Shaped By Us by Diane Ackerman.

Start reading now so you’ll be ready to discuss the book at the next meeting of the Environmental Book Club on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at 3 pm. Author Diane Ackerman explores the human capacity for both destruction and invention as we shape the future of the planet Earth. The book provides a dazzling, inspiring tour through the ways that humans are working with nature to try to save the planet. Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award and the PEN New England Henry David Thoreau Prize. We hope you’ll join us for the discussion of this thought provoking work.

Tin Mountain’s Environmental Book Group is sponsored in part by the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation.
