From one of our past book club reads in partnership with Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Park
"Animals move because they are less autonomous than plants are. They can't feed and build themselves and spin out volatiles from just air and water and soil and sunlight, as plants astonishingly do."
A Field Guide to the World's Smells, by Harold McGee.

Book club meetings are free and open to the public. Keep an eye on Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Park socials to register for upcoming dates!

Regenerative agriculture is a method of farming that actively builds soil health - providing deep nourishment to the microbes and fungi within soil that help plants flourish. These practices also help soil become more resilient to pests, pathogens, and extreme weather. This practice is often utilized by local, small scale farmers. Want to support a regenerative farmer near you? Participate in Community Supported Agriculture programs, an opportunity to support your local ecosystem, your local food economy, and your health by consuming delicious & nutritious produce grown by local regenerative farmers.
