Join Wild Virginia on February 20th at 7pm for a discussion of Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World by Christian Cooper. Christian Cooper has become known as "the Central Park Birder". In this memoir, Cooper shares stories of a life that is so much larger than that one day.

He writes "One of the things I love most about birding is how it shifts your perceptions, adding layers of meaning and brokering connections — between sounds and seasons, across far-flung places and between who we are as people and a wild world that both transcends and embraces us. In my life, it has been a window into the wondrous, and I feel excited and grateful to get to share that wonder with others."

If you would like to read ahead, our March Book Club will be a discussion of Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell by Sy Montgomery.
