Join the Champlain Area Trails Book Club: Discuss "Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America" by Leila Philip.

Are you passionate about nature and literature? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with the author at the Champlain Area Trails conservation book club  on Tuesday, May 13th, from 5 PM to 6 PM. This month, we will delve into "Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America," an insightful book by Leila Philip.

From the celebrated author Leila Philip comes "Beaverland," an exceptional exploration of narrative science writing. This intriguing book skillfully weaves together history and modern storytelling to reveal the extraordinary influence of beavers on American history and their future. Leila takes us on a compelling journey alongside fur trappers navigating waist-high waters, alongside fur traders and auctioneers, and through the perspectives of wildlife managers, PETA activists, and Native American environmentalists, including the passionate "beaver believers." It's a captivating read that promises to enchant and educate!

“This lyrical exploration is a portal for readers to enter into the mysteries of that world themselves.”—The Washington Post
