    Connect with other people who are passionate about education, Earth, and community in our new Autumn book club!

    As the season changes, we turn inward for more home-projects, creativity, and READING! For Eight weeks, we will read through Rooted by Lyanda Lynn Haupt together, meeting four times for snacks, tea, and sharing at the IHT Office, led by IHT Outreach Manager and Writer, Noel Ruth.

    This group is free! Email nruth@islandheritagetrust.org to register.
    *You will need to purchase your own copy of the book*

    "Award-winning writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s highly personal new book is a brilliant invitation to live with the earth in both simple and profound ways—from walking barefoot in the woods and reimagining our relationship with animals and trees, to examining the very language we use to describe and think about nature. She invokes rootedness as a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life."
