Sign up to join Northeast Wilderness Trust’s third Learning Circle book group. We will discuss The Overstory by Richard Powers, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2019. The novel follows nine people as their lives become entwined in the fight to save old-growth forests.

The novel integrates recent learning about trees and old-growth forests and highlights NEWT’s belief that We are One of Many.

The Learning Circle book group will meet via Zoom on three Wednesdays, January 29, February 19, and March 12, from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm EDT. Three sessions will allow participants to get to know each other and to divide the reading and discussion into three parts. The January 29 session will cover the first 150 pages of The Overstory.

If you are interested in participating, please register below by December 31, 2024. Details on the sessions and Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants in early January 2025. You may participate even if you can only attend two of the three sessions. David Hindin, a NEWT supporter who facilitated the first two Learning Circle book groups, will again be our facilitator.

We look forward to meeting you!
