Books in the Woods

Have you read any good books that have inspired you about the outdoors, nature, or the climate? Join folks from the Mary Blood Library and the Mt. Ascutney Interpreter for a hike to a woodsy spot to share a book you've read or hear about what others have read! This could be anything from a non-fiction book, a memoir, a fantasy novel, a gardening book, or a thriller that takes place in the woods. 

A few suggestions: A Walk in the Woods; How to Love a Forest; The Last Child in the Woods; The Hike; The Snow Child; Cabin: Off the Grid Adventures; Prodigal Summer; Serviceberry; Migrations; The Trail; Wild Ideas; Grandma Gatewood’s Walk; The Overstory; The God of the Woods; The Hidden Life of Trees. And there are so many others! We’ll have the “books in the woods” outing on July 18th, so you have time for a good read. Enjoy!

If it rains we will reschedule for a later date.

A Dramatic Constitution: A Vermont Humanities Program

While the United States Constitution is small in size, it is large enough to support our most dramatic disagreements. Beginning with the clash between slave states and free states, we have staged all of our controversies on the Articles and Amendments. Even during the Civil War, the Constitution held.

Once again we are divided on the merits of the Constitution: can it redeem us or is it a convenient cloak for white supremacy? Neither a divine document nor a tool of elites, the Constitution might also be seen as an invitation to develop the habits of civic friendship.

This Program is Supported by the Vermont Humanities Council.
