“The Wild Trees” by Richard Preston  will be discussed on March 11th at 6:30pm in the community room at the Hadley-Luzerne Public Library.

This is a non-fiction  adventure story about several young college students who explore the ecology in the redwood treetops in Northern California. The deep redwood canopy is a vertical Eden filled with mosses, lichens, spotted salamanders, hanging gardens of ferns, and thickets of huckleberry bushes, all growing out of massive trunk systems that have fused and formed flying buttresses.  Humans move through the deep canopy suspended on ropes, far out of sight of the ground, knowing that the price of a small mistake can be a plunge to one’s death.

The book club had to cancel Tuesday Feb 12th due to a major ice storm.  The club has rescheduled the meeting to Tuesday Feb 26th at 6:30pm.  At this meeting they will be discussing The River of Doubt by Candice Millard.

At once brutal and tender, despairing and rashly hopeful, spare of language and profoundly moving, this work is a fierce and haunting meditation on the tenuous divide between civilization and savagery, and the essential, sometimes terrifying power of filial love.
