From Manure to the Moon – Stories of Vanishing Species & Reasons for Hope
Dung beetles & stellar navigation, bats & tequila, the fastest mammal and a salamander that is able to feel light through its skin – join Beatrice Forshall, author of The Book of Vanishing Species and Groundswell’s artist in residence on a journey through the lives of six species threatened with extinction and their importance to the health of our soil, air & water. The talk is a celebration of the natural world and shows us what can be done to protect it. There will be a reading, book signing and a chance to buy a bottle of walnut ink made on Beatrice’s family farm.
