The book for our discussion, A Sand County Almanac, is the 1949 non-fiction book by American ecologist, forester and environmentalist Aldo Leopold. It is considered by many, along with Walden and Silent Spring, to be the inspiration of the modern environmental movement.
Come to the meeting for the discussion whether you have read the book or not.
Note the new location. This is a very nice place to meet and we are allowed to have food and beverages.
