Love reading? Love nature? Then consider joining our Conservation Book Club! After the first meeting, the group will decide where and when to meet and which compelling books to discuss in the future. Plans are to meet four times a year.

The next meeting of this newly formed book club will be on Wednesday, May 18 at 6:30 pm. We will be meeting at a private Ashland home for a discussion of Deep Economy by Bill McKibbin. See the links below for a book review and radio forum.
