Biodiversity

[close] A book group for people living in, or connected to, the Dyfi Valley in mid-Wales, focussing broadly on eco-themed books, including nature writing, nature connection, land use, food & farming, queer nature, indigenous writing, and much more! We'll read about 4-6 books a year, depending on how we get on, and meet virtually in winter and in real life in summer... We hope you can join us, and look forward to your book suggestions too! :)

[close] We read and discuss climate literature across all genres and aspects of the changing climate. The Climate Change Book Club began in January 2022 at The Old Library, in Eastville, Bristol.

[close] This group was founded to contribute to the listopia of 'Botany Reference Books' for taxonomic identification of plants and fungi in arctic, temperate and tropical regions.

[close] The Green group is about living in a sustainable manner--how human activity affects the environment and how a changing climate/environment affects how humans live their lives. Are we making good decisions on a personal level? business level? policy level? Discuss! We read fiction and non-fiction that explore these concerns.
