Quarterly Book Club

Each quarter we read a new book to learn more about the natural world around us. At the end of each month, we discuss the chapters we’ve read (we have a virtual option for those who cannot meet in person), and on the third month of each quarter we travel to a destination that relates to the book for a field excursion that ties it all together.
