Calling all tree huggers, forest friends, and book worms! If you are interested in connecting with fellow nature-lovers over a good book, join us for Highland’s Green Gathering Book Club.

Who would have guessed that tiny organisms beneath the surface of the soil are crucial to the survival of life on this planet? This month we’ll take inspiration from Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life and talk all about fungi, the strange and amazing life forms that continue to fascinate and inspire researchers.

This event is free and open to the public. Designed for participants aged 12 and up. Participants will meet at the Highland Museum Shop and walk as a group to our comfy conference room for the book club meeting.

Entangled Life can be purchased through your local bookstore or via Amazon. Want to be extra green? Check out the book from your local library branch!
