SUMMARY:EVLT Book Club Discussion: "The Light Eaters"
DESCRIPTION:Join the EVLT Book Club for a fun\, informal discussion of “The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth” by Zoë Schlanger. \nThe Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency\, consciousness\, and intelligence. In looking closely\, we see that plants\, rather than imitate human intelligence\, have perhaps formed a parallel system. What is intelligent life if not a vine that grows leaves to blend into the shrub on which it climbs\, a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the beak of its pollinator\, a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoë Schlanger takes us across the globe\, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing entities up close. \nWe need plants to survive. But what do they need us for—if at all? An eye-opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in\, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world. \nJoin us for good company and lively conversation. All are welcome! \nWhen: Thursday\, November 13 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nWhere: EVLT Conservation Center in Edwards\, CO \nCost: Free. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Screening 2 of "Singing Back the Buffalo"
DESCRIPTION:Join Eagle Valley Land Trust for a screening of Singing Back the Buffalo. Please note that we are hosting two screenings of the film. This event page is for the screening on Wednesday\, October 22.  \nIn a time of immense environmental degradation and global uncertainty\, the buffalo can lead us to a better tomorrow.

SUMMARY:EVLT Book Club Discussion: "The Only Kayak: A Journey Into the Heart of Alaska"
DESCRIPTION:Join the EVLT Book Club for a fun\, informal discussion of “The Only Kayak: A Journey Into the Heart of Alaska” by Kim Heacox. \nBorn in Idaho’s Bitterroot Mountains and raised in Spokane\, Washington\, Kim Heacox moves to Alaska as a young park ranger and discovers a land and sea newly reborn from beneath a retreating glacier. “People are reborn here too\,” he writes. “This place is that powerful. In Glacier Bay you don’t inherit\, you create. You practice resurrection because the land and sea show you that anything is possible. Moose swim across fiords. Bears traverse glaciers. Flowers emerge from granite boulders. Inlets fill with glacial silt. Shorelines shift and nautical charts become obsolete as the land—the actual crust of the Earth—rebounds after the immense weight of glacial ice (of just a few hundred years ago) has been lifted.” \nJoin us for good company and lively conversation. All are welcome! \nWhen: Thursday\, August 21 from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. \nWhere: EVLT Conservation Center in Edwards\, CO \nCost: Free. Registration is required.
