Environmental Awareness Book Club

Monday, April 20, 6-7:30PM
Whitefish Bay Public Library

5420 N Marlborough Dr, Whitefish Bay, WI 53217
Registration Encouraged: wfblibrary.org/our_events/26407

The Environmental Awareness Book Club is led by members of the Whitefish Bay Garden Club in partnership with the Whitefish Bay Public Library which will meet once a quarter. This month we're reading Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Registration is encouraged for planning but not required. Light snacks will be provided; please bring your own water bottle.

About the book: 
Conservationist Rachel Carson spent over six years documenting the effects on DDT-- a synthetic organic compound used as an insecticide -- on numerous communities. Her analysis revealed that such powerful, persistent chemical pesticides have been used without a full understanding of the extent of their potential harm to the whole biota, including the damage they've caused to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans.
In this book, Carson discusses her findings and expresses passionate concern for the future of the planet and all the life inhabiting it, calling on us all to act responsibly, carefully, and as stewards of the living earth. Additionally, she suggests that all democracies and liberal societies must operate in a way that allows individuals and groups to question what their governments have permitted to be put into the environment. An instant bestseller that was read by President Kennedy during the summer of 1962, this classic remains one of the best introductions to the complicated and controversial subject.

Growing a Greener Village... One Garden at a Time
About Us
​

Since 1958, the Whitefish Bay Garden Club has been protecting natural spaces for wildlife and people, beautifying civic grounds, and stimulating an interest in horticulture and home gardens. In 1968 the Club reached outside of our community to found Riveredge Nature Center in Saukville, a growing and thriving space for learning and experiences grounded in our natural world.

​Recently we have established several projects in our village: incredible enhancements to Silver Spring Park, weeding Klode Park, becoming a Bird City and a Monarch City, supporting Bay Day, establishing the Cahill Butterfly Garden and the Lydell Community Center garden, 
remembering our neighbors facing hardships through our Forget-Me-Not program, and hosting the first Garden Walk in the Bay in 2017 (and one to come Saturday July 20, 2024!).

We are committed to continuing our mission into the next decade: Growing a greener village… One garden at a time.
