Join us for the Village Books/Whatcom Land Trust co-sponsored Environmental Conservation Book Club that meets the second Monday of each month from 5-6pm in the VB Readings Gallery.  We discuss contemporary and classic texts on conservation, agriculture, and environmental issues in the Pacific Northwest.  Occasionally, we also include fictional literature that inspires a sense of place and attachment to our native landscape.  There's no commitment - come when the book appeals to you!  Book selection and discussion moderation will explore a breadth of views for addressing the complex issues of conservation and land use. Authors DO NOT attend.

Golden Spruce by John Valliant

As vividly as Jon Krakauer put readers on Everest, John Vaillant takes us into the heart of North America's last great forest, where trees grow to eighteen feet in diameter, sunlight never touches the ground, and the chainsaws are always at work.When a shattered kayak and camping gear are found on an uninhabited island, they reignite a mystery surrounding a shocking act of protest.
