Ecology

[close] A quiet corner for readers who love nature, slow living, folkcraft, ecology, healing, homesteading, wildlife, and heartfelt storytelling. This group follows the same spirit as the Little Fox Hearthstead blog — grounded, warm, curious, and always growing. Here, we read at our own pace. We share books that nourish us, help us learn, challenge us gently, or bring us comfort. Whether you’re exploring field guides, mental health reads, folklore, natural history, homesteading basics, or cozy novels, you’re welcome here. This is a space for: • thoughtful discussion • learning together • respecting each other’s boundaries • sharing resources without pressure or judgment • and most importantly having fun and making friends! Curl up, settle in, and make yourself at home.

[close] A global community of eco-enthusiasts reading books with an environmental theme every 2 months. We made this group to educate ourselves about the intersectional issues facing our planet and population and engage with others across the world whilst doing so. For discussions, book reviews, reading tips, etc. please join us on our Instagram page @envirobookclub There will be open discussions for each book and updated books we are reading. If you'd like, introduce yourself (in the 'General' discussion board) when you join. Please feel free to add any book suggestions to our bookshelf. Happy reading!

[close] A group for Patreon subscribers to the podcast Storytelling Animals to share recommendations and discuss what we're reading on climate, ecology and animal justice. Feel free to start threads asking for recommendations on specific topics or genres! We will also read one book a month together as part of our book club, alternating fiction and nonfiction. Only subscribers of $7/month or more will get the Zoom link, but everyone is encouraged to join the conversation about each month's book here. Subscribe here: https://www.patreon.com/storytellingpod; and/or listen here: hhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/storytelling-animals/id1604296764
