Thanks to Board Member, Jackie Stone, for curating this wonderful reading list for 2023.
Join us for a series of informal discussions about some wonderful writing about the natural world. It’s a fun way to spend an evening once a month in light-hearted conversation and community! Just email bookclub@abbottmarshlands.org and we will send you meeting details as they become available.
