MLT's environment-themed Book Club will be meeting on Wednesday, January 21st at 6:00 PM! We will be reading The Overstory by Richard Powers. 

The Overstory is a "sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of - and paean to - the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe" (read the Goodreads description here).

We will be discussing the book in its entirety. If available, we encourage participants to attend in-person at the MLT office at Valentine Farm,…
