Darke County Parks
Down to Earth
Book Club with DCP
The Darke County Park District is pleased to announce a new program,
the Down to Earth Book Club. Each quarter the program will feature a
different book, some by well-known nature writers, some about outdoor
adventure, and even some about pioneers settling Ohio. Everyone is
invited to read the book and join them at the Nature Center to discuss
the work, enjoy some yummy treats, and suggest future books.
For the inaugural season, the Down to Earth Book Club will read Pilgrim
at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard, a Pulitzer Prize winning, non-fiction
narrative of a year in Virginia’s Roanoke Valley. On foot, the speaker
explores meadows, ponds, and fields; peers into the lives of monarchs,
snakes, and even a coot; reflects on their intricacies and
interconnectedness; and marvels at the meaning of it all.
This season’s book club will meet on Monday, February 1st at 6:30pm at
the Shawnee Prairie Nature Center. A limited number of books will be
available in the Nature Center Gift Shop. Please call ahead to ensure
the book is still in stock and to let them know you plan on
participating in the book club discussion in February. The Darke County
Parks Nature Center can be reached at (937) 548-0165.
