A book club discussion of the climate crisis, hosted by the Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor will take place through the first four months of 2022. The book to be discussed is titled Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, written by Paul Hawken, an environmentalist, and bestselling author. The book discussions will start on January 18th and take place every third Tuesday after that point. A section of the book will be discussed at each meeting, along with how the reading could be applied to Door County. Anna Foster, the environmental interpreter at the Ridges Sanctuary, details how the series of book discussions came to life.
The meetings will be held in person and over Zoom, as the capacity for in-person attendance is limited. With the book's reading required for participation in the series, you can find it at the Door County Libraries and the Nature Store in the Cook-Fuller Nature Center in Baileys Harbor. After the book discussion meetings are over, the Ridges Sanctuary will also hold a community meeting that will be more action-oriented. The five book discussions will be held in the evenings from 6:00-7:30 pm. For more information about the series and to register for the discussions, you can visit the Ridges Sanctuary website.
