Most Read This Week In Environment

[close] A collection of books with LUMES batch 28 students

[close] A quiet corner for readers who love nature, slow living, folkcraft, ecology, healing, homesteading, wildlife, and heartfelt storytelling. This group follows the same spirit as the Little Fox Hearthstead blog — grounded, warm, curious, and always growing. Here, we read at our own pace. We share books that nourish us, help us learn, challenge us gently, or bring us comfort. Whether you’re exploring field guides, mental health reads, folklore, natural history, homesteading basics, or cozy novels, you’re welcome here. This is a space for: • thoughtful discussion • learning together • respecting each other’s boundaries • sharing resources without pressure or judgment • and most importantly having fun and making friends! Curl up, settle in, and make yourself at home.

[close] Whether it be an in-depth look at our natural world through essays written by past and present authors such as H.D. Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and Gary Snyder or reading authors where the landscape plays an active role in their novels, such as Willa Cather or Jack London this group will focus on how the environment plays a crucial role in literature.
