Tern the Page Book Club - Return of the Oystercatcher Book Club Meeting

This is a book club for nature enthusiasts and bird nerds who are excited to learn and build community throughout the year!

For each book we will host a book club meeting at Camden Public Library and a "Meet the Author" session over Zoom.

This summer we are reading "Return of the Oystercatcher" by Scott Weidensaul.

From the New York Times bestselling author of A World on the Wing, an exploration of the efforts led by scientists, conservationists, and Indigenous peoples to save birds around the world.

As populations fall and once-great migration multitudes wither away, the future of birds may seem grim. But surprisingly, around the world, bird conservation is making things better. From the hyperlocal to the hemispherically immense, The Return of the Oystercatcher explores the recovery efforts that are not only preventing declines in bird populations but are helping them to thrive. Scott Weidensaul compiles amazing stories of hope and progress in some of the most unlikely places—from the resurgence of ducks in North America to the return of ospreys nesting in Southern Britain—to provide a road map of breathtaking environmental resilience. Because birds are so diverse, so ubiquitous, and cover virtually every square mile of the Earth's surface, Weidensaul argues that by saving the birds we can also save the world. The result is an inspiring story of what's working in bird conservation, recovery, and reintroduction, and what can work for the rest of the planet.

Join us for a book club meeting on July 31st at 4:30 PM at the Camden Public Library. The author will not be present at the book club meeting. Please register separately for the virtual "Meet the Author" session to meet Scott Weidensaul over Zoom.
