Join us on March 5th for a book club discussion of topics from Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane. Learn more about environmental legal personhood with Yenny Vega Cardenas, President of the International Observatory on the Rights of Nature, member of the IUCN Legal Committee, and the United Nations "Harmony with Nature" expert network, and champion for the Rights of Nature. This event is co-sponsored by OARS, Thoreau Alliance (formerly Thoreau Society), and the Concord Free Public Library.

Join the editors and essayists of Thoreau & Philosophy for a conversation exploring Thoreau as one of America's most profound philosophical thinkers. Beyond his literary and naturalist legacy, Thoreau’s work engages philosophical questions that remain deeply relevant today, shaping conversations about ethics, freedom, society, and the environment. Together, the panelists share how situating Thoreau in a philosophical context allows one to more fully appreciate the depth of his thought.   Co-sponsored by the Thoreau Alliance.
