Hike with a Librarian!
One thing we have learned during the Covid-19 pandemic is the importance of connections, not only with our fellow humans and pets, but also with nature. Hike with a Manatee County Librarian along the trails of Robinson Preserve and discuss a non-fiction book while enjoying Florida's scenery. After the discussion, a Manatee County Parks & Natural Resources guide will talk about the plants, flowers, trees, and wildlife found at the preserve. If there is still time after the talk, we will walk around the park at a leisurely pace. The entire walk will be about one mile in length.
The book we will be discussing is The Heartbeat of Trees by Peter Wohlleben (2022). This title is available through Hoopla.
