Norman Bird Sanctuary's Fireside Lecture this month features award-winning writer Leila Philip, author of "Beaverland." Beautifully written and impeccably researched, Beaverland reveals the profound ways in which one odd creature and the trade surrounding it has shaped history, culture, and our environment.

Grab a hot toddy and sit by the fire to enjoy a poignant personal narrative. A startling portrait of the secretive world of the contemporary fur trade, and an engrossing ecological and historical investigation of these heroic animals who, once trapped to the point of extinction, have returned to the landscape as one of the greatest conservation stories of the 20th century.

WHEN: Friday, April 28; 6:30-8 p.m.

TICKETS: Members: $25 | Member veteran/first responder/teachers: $22 | Non-members: $30
