Gary Snyder

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.

The Practice of the Wild by Gary Snyder

The nine captivatingly meditative essays in "The Practice of the Wild" display the deep understanding and wide erudition of Gary Snyder in the ways of Buddhist belief, wildness, wildlife, and the world. These essays, first published in 1990, stand as the mature centerpiece of Snyder's work and thought, and this profound collection is widely accepted as one of the central texts on wilderness and the interaction of nature and culture.
