Eco Book Club: The Language of Trees: A Rewilding of Literature and Landscape by Katie Holten

Due to ongoing renovations at Teaneck Library, the Eco Book Club will be held at Teaneck Creek Conservancy at 20 Puffin Way in Teaneck.

Katie Holten's “The Language of Trees” is a visually striking exploration of the natural world, where art and language converge. Holten creates a unique "tree alphabet" to reimagine how we connect with trees and the environment. Through stunning illustrations and personal reflections, she invites readers to see trees not just as living beings, but as active participants in the world around us.

The book encourages a deeper connection with nature and fosters a renewed appreciation for the ecological importance of trees. By blending visual storytelling with a focus on environmental consciousness, Holten offers a fresh perspective on how we might communicate with and understand the natural world. *The Language of Trees* is both an artistic and poetic meditation on the beauty and fragility of trees.

Eco Book Club: Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden

Eco Book Club: Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden

Due to ongoing renovations at Teaneck Library, the Eco Book Club will be held at Teaneck Creek Conservancy at 20 Puffin Way in Teaneck.

In The Story of a Black Mother's Garden, poet and scholar Camille T. Dungy reflects on a seven-year journey to diversify her garden in the mostly white community of Fort Collins, Colorado. When she and her family relocated there in 2013, the community enforced strict rules on what could and couldn’t be planted in residential gardens. In defiance of these restrictive, homogenous policies that stifled the potential and beauty of nature, Dungy uses the variety of plants, herbs, vegetables, and flowers she cultivates as a metaphor to argue how uniformity threatens the planet’s future. She also emphasizes the importance of fostering diverse, intersectional language in national environmental discussions as the key to its protection.

Eco Book Club: Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May

Due to upcoming renovations at Teaneck Library, the Eco Book Club will be held at Teaneck Creek Conservancy at 20 Puffin Way in Teaneck.

Wintering explores the profound experience of personal hardship, offering a thoughtful guide to navigating life's most difficult moments. Through a mix of personal storytelling and deep reflection, Katherine May shares her own journey of healing, showing how we can grow through times of struggle. By embracing solitude and drawing strength from nature, literature, and mythology, she uncovers the quiet, transformative power of the winter season.

This book invites readers to rethink adversity, framing it as an opportunity for renewal rather than a setback. May encourages us to embrace the stillness and subtle beauty that emerge during tough times, revealing how hardship can lead to hidden strengths and new beginnings. Wintering reminds us that, like nature's seasons, we too can find resilience and growth in the quietest of moments.

Eco Book Club: The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis by Christiana Figueres

Due to upcoming renovations at Teaneck Library, the Eco Book Club will be held at Teaneck Creek Conservancy at 20 Puffin Way in Teaneck.

A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac–who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015.
The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. 
The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster. (Provided by publisher.)

Eco Book Club: Better Living through Birding
Apr

Eco Book Club: Better Living through Birding

This month’s book is Christian Cooper’s Better Living through Birding, an invitation into the wonderful world of birds, and what they can teach us about life, if only we would stop and listen. Christian Cooper is a self-described Blerd (Black nerd), an avid comics fan, and an expert birder who devotes every spring to gazing upon the migratory birds that stop to rest in Central Park.  Cooper tells the story of his extraordinary life leading up to the now-infamous encounter in Central Park and shows how a life spent looking up at the birds prepared him, in the most uncanny of ways, to be a gay, Black man in America today.

Spring is simmering! Curious what plants are popping up and what wildlife are leaving tracks at the Creek?

George is an avid user of iNaturalist and has been cultivating knowledge about local plants and wildlife for many years.
