SUMMARY:Natural History Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Sitting in the Highlands Center ramada while the wind rustles through the ponderosa pine needles and a robin chirps\, there is a moment of silent contemplation. Natural history is complicated – personal and universal at the same time. Our Natural History book club met beginning in 2021 and the discussions occasionally resulted in these special moments of quiet thoughtfulness.\nWe’re excited to continue to offer this free and open to the public program. Reading is something on many of our “to-do” lists\, but some of us need a little extra incentive\, like having a group that meets monthly to discuss. This group focuses on books related to natural history\, with some southwestern component\, written in the last decade or so. Books are selected by the group and then sold in the Benson Family Nature Store. We take our time reading – two months for each book. And we encourage personal connections\, as well as universal questioning\, when we come together for our meetings. People can jump in at any time!\nJoin the Natural History Book Club today!\nBook club meetings are the first Friday of each month from 1pm-2pm and meet in the beautiful outdoor setting of the Discovery Gardens Ramada\, weather depending.\n2026 Natural History Book Club Books and Dates:\nFebruary / March\nThe Age of Loneliness: Essays\, by Laura Marris\nApril / May\nThe Wild Dark: Finding the Night Sky in the Age of Light\, by Craig Childs\nJune / July\nThe Language of Trees: A Rewilding of Literature and Landscape\, by Katie Holten\nAugust / September\nThe Hidden Seasons: A Calendar of Nature’s Clues\, by Tristan Gooley\nOctober / November\nFlight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration\, by Rebecca Heisman

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in the Pines: A midsummer Nights Dream
DESCRIPTION:A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, by William Shakespeare  \nTwo worlds will collide on a single summer night…\nA midsummer wedding is about to take place in the seemingly well-ordered township of Athens\, while a bitter feud is stirring in the surrounding forest. An amateur play rehearsal\, a desperate elopement\, and a jealous pursuit draw the mortal townsfolk away from the safety of their civilization and into the realm where the fairies dwell. \nWhen fairies and mortals mix can mayhem be far behind? \nThe Highlands Center for Natural History and Laark Productions present the 13th annual Shakespeare in the Pines production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, a playful romp from the world of men through the forest of dreams and back again. \nCatered by El Gato Azul  \nWine provided by Page Spring Cellars  \nDoors Open at 5:45PM  \nPerformance starts 6:50PM
