First Tuesday Event Tomorrow (September 1): Astonished by Beauty

[MethowConservancy]

When: Tuesday, September 1, at 7pm.
Where: The Winthrop Barn

This event is presented in partnership with the Friends of the Winthrop Library.

Join us for a talk by Tom Fleischner on his new book, Astonished by Beauty. The book asks an important question: "What happens when we truly pay attention to the natural world?" Through a series of brief, intimate stories from the Alaskan Arctic to the Amazon, Fleischner reveals how both easy and meaningful it is to deepen our connection with the land and its creatures. Offering simple, grounded steps to nurture this bond, Tom's book is part reflection, part guide, calling for a life lived with care, presence, and respect for the wild beauty that surrounds us. Tom's talk will also traverse his personal journey as a naturalist, conservation biologist, and educator, including stories of his long-time connection to the North Cascades. Tom worked in the national park as a young man and was a co-founder of the North Cascades Institute.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Contact Bridger with any questions.
