District Readers: An Environmental Book Club
District Readers is a virtual book club fostering connections between educational readings and a community of nature-lovers.
Free and open to all, this program is an opportunity to get introduced to a diverse array of environmental disciplines through the power of storytelling. Selected titles include a blend of scientific research and narrative writing, painting a holistic picture of ways that our lives are intertwined with the natural world around us. District Readers meetings offer guided questions but are casual and free-flowing. This is a space to share your thoughts and spark conversations.
To sign up for a meeting, please visit our events page and click the registration button for the meeting you would like to attend. Each meeting will have its own Zoom link. If you would like to be added to an email list for information on all future District Readers meetings, please contact jessica@benziecd.org.
Special thanks to Leelanau, Grand Traverse, and Eaton Conservation Districts for helping to expand this program!
