We’re bringing walking book tours to the South Coast where we use books as an excuse to take afternoon walks! We stole this idea from the Brits (see here) but are putting a decidedly South Coast spin on it by choosing books and/or authors with a connection to our region.
Upcoming Walking Book Tour
Book: Discovering Ospreys and their life lessons: a walk with Pamela Lowell and her book My Summer with Osprey: A Therapist’s Journey Toward Hope, Community, and Healing Our Planet
Date: July 20, 2pm – 4pm
Location: Lloyd Center for the Environment, Dartmouth
Details: (Free event, but please register. The registration form is at the bottom of this page.)
Ms. Lowell spent a summer taking part in the Massachusetts Audubon South Coast Osprey Project in their osprey next monitoring program. She created an engaging memoir of that summer, weaving in her work as a trauma therapist and beautiful watercolor illustrations. On July 20, Ms. Lowell will join us, along with a naturalist from the Lloyd Center for the Environment, to lead us along Lloyd Center trails and to their observation booth to view the osprey nests, as we read passages from and discuss Ms. Lowell’s book.
Where can I find the book?
While there is no need to read the book to enjoy the tour, if you’d like to pick up a copy, you can find it in Dartmouth at Davoll’s General Store, in Mattapoisett at Town Wharf General Store, in New Bedford at The Drawing Room, in Westport at Partners Village Store.
