Words from the Woods Book Circle

​

Join this offering from the East Haddam Land Trust and East Haddam Library System
at the Rathbun Library, to soak in the writings of natural scientists who expand
and deepen our awareness of the ecologies of life.
By reading about the seen and unseen relationships of the wood-web,
our experiences of forests, waterways, and meadows of East Haddam will be enriched.

​

The book circle meets at the Rathbun Library, 36 Main Street, East Haddam,
on the dates listed below from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. All are welcome.

Copies of the books can be borrowed through the East Haddam

Library System.

​

Optional hikes on our local preserves and creative opportunities
will be paired with the writings as separate events.
