Greater FW Sierra Club Environmental & Nature Book Club

Join us on Monday, February 9, 2025, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Book Club where we will discuss ""The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate: Discoveries from a Secret World" by Peter Wohlleben.

Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forests and explains the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in the woodland and the amazing scientific processes behind the wonders of which we are blissfully unaware. Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions, trees in a family or community are protected and can live to be very old. In contrast, solitary trees, like street kids, have a tough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group.

We always have great discussions, and all are invited whether you have read the book or not.

Our meeting will be held at:

Fielder Museum
1616 W Abrams Str
Arlington, TX

This location is a very nice place to meet, and we are allowed to have food and beverages.
