Bad Naturalist: Learning the Hard Way Book Signing
(16-Adult) Join us for a tale of rewilding a Blue Ridge mountaintop that is entirely relatable to anyone who has fallen in love with native plants. Bad Naturalist: One Woman’s Ecological Education on a Wild Virginia Mountaintop is a memoir about Paula Whyman’s attempts to restore native meadows on a mountaintop in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, about the obstacles she encountered, the (many) mistakes she made, the failures and—important—the successes and the discoveries she made along the way. Douglas Tallamy, founder of the Homegrown National Park movement, calls the book “self-deprecating, humorous and thoroughly engaging.” Paula Whyman will share her story and answer questions.
