Join other nature lovers in DNRT’s Naturalist Book Club! We will be meeting once a quarter at the DNRT Headquarters at Helfand Farm for lively discussion and good company. Books should be purchased or borrowed on your own and read prior to the February 2 meeting. The whole book does not need to be completed to attend.
This month’s book is Life and Death of the Salt Marsh by John and Mildred Teal. Find a copy here: savebuzzardsbay.org/books

One of nature’s greatest gifts is the string of salt marshes that edges the East Coast from Newfoundland to Florida — a ribbon of green growth, part solid land, part scurrying water. Life and Death of the Salt Marsh shows how these marshes are developed, what kinds of life inhabit them, how enormously they have contributed to man, and how ruthlessly man is destroying them.
