The spring reading selection has been selected! Our next book is a collection of essays titled Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Yes, it is about mosses – and also the interconnectedness of all living things.
You can learn more about our nature book club and sign up to be a part of it by visiting our Book Club page.
Although our reading group has increased to 25 participants, we have yet to gather much interest in attending meetings. Hopefully when the weather improves and the days are longer we will have more in attendance.
Stay tuned for the date of the next meeting which will be scheduled for a date in April, location TBD. As soon as it’s been set, the information will be posted on the website. In the meantime, enjoy this great book!
I love mosses! I was in Alaska, on in Inside Passage tour with Lindblad with my Mom and daughter back in 2001. We walked through forests that were completely upholstered in mosses…every rock, fallen tree, hummock, living tree trunks, the trails we walked on were springy with generations of mosses…I’ve always wanted to go back for a Moss Tour!
I look forward to reading this book and learning more about these plants.

Thank you, Dale, for sharing this! Entering the world of mosses with Robin Wall Kimmerer is certainly a remarkable and breath taking journey. I hope everyone is enjoying this collection.
