Join us on Nov. 13th at 7 pm!
The coronavirus has caused us to move our annual meeting to a virtual format this year. But we’re still celebrating our 10th anniversary in grand style.
Join us to celebrate Conservation Montgomery’s 10th anniversary and our wild home with Melanie Choukas-Bradley, author of several nature books, including two published in 2020: Resilience—Connecting with Nature in a Time of Crisis and Finding Solace at Theodore Roosevelt Island. Melanie is also the author of books about forest bathing, Sugarloaf Mountain, Rock Creek Park, and the trees of Washington. She lives in Chevy Chase and for 20 years resided in the Agricultural Reserve, where she and her husband, Jim, still own working farmland. Melanie is on the Advisory Committee for the Montgomery Countryside Alliance and she has led many tours of the Ag Reserve for Smithsonian Associates and the Audubon Naturalist Society as well as forest bathing walks at Brookside Gardens.
Melanie will inspire us to connect more deeply with the beauty and wonder of Montgomery County’s green spaces, including our own backyards, as we celebrate our ten years of activism and stewardship. It’s especially important, in these stressful times, that we take time to pause and connect with the natural beauty around us with all of our senses and open hearts. During the evening we may even do a little “forest bathing” together. Our talk will be accompanied by slides.
