Great Meadows Conservation Trust, Inc., Eleanor Buck Wolf Nature Center, and Wethersfield Historical Society invite you to an author’s talk with best-selling author Leila Philip. Ms. Philip will speak in the ballroom of the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center (200 Main Street, Wethersfield) about her book, Beaverland – How One Weird Rodent Made America . In her new afterward written for the recent release of the trade paperback edition, Philip writes: “The movement to bring beavers back to North America has grown in the past sixteen months since the book first went to press… Government agencies, federal and state employees, tribal governments, and state legislators are joining nonprofits, scientists, individuals, ranchers, farmers, and other landowners in new partnerships with the shared goal of harnessing what beavers do to help restore river systems and create watershed resiliency.”

River Bend Bookshop of Glastonbury will have copies of the book available for purchase. After her talk, Ms. Philip will be available to sign copies of her book.

Admission is free to the general public, but donations are welcome and go to support the missions of the hosting organizations.
