SUMMARY:Bad Naturalist | Author Visit - Paula Whyman
DESCRIPTION:Paula Whyman author of Bad Naturalist is coming to campus!\n\n\nWhen Paula Whyman first climbs a peak in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in search of a home in the country\, she has no idea how quickly her tidy backyard ecology project will become a massive endeavor. She soon discovers just how much she has to learn about hands-on conservation work. Bad Naturalist is a memoir about Paula Whyman’s attempts to restore native meadows on a 200-acre mountaintop–about the obstacles she encountered\, the mistakes she made\, the failures and the all-important successes\, and the discoveries she made along the way. Douglas Tallamy calls Bad Naturalist “self-deprecating\, humorous\, and thoroughly engaging.” Washington Gardener calls it “glorious.”Whyman will share the story of her efforts to restore the land\, and she’ll answer audience questions. \nThis event will take place in VCAM 001. Her talk will be followed by a book signing. Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event in collaboration with Narberth Bookshop. \nNarberth Bookshop Information \nCurrent Hours: Sun – Mon: Noon – 5\, Tues – Sat: 11 – 7 \nNARBERTH BOOKSHOPA COMMUNITY OF READERS\, WRITERS\, AND LIFELONG LEARNERS \n221 Haverford Ave. Narberth\, PA 19072 610-664-1112 \nnarberthbookshop@gmail.com  \nwww.narberthbookshop.com \nProud member of iNDiE MAiN LiNE! \n\n\n\nPaula Whyman Bio \nPaula Whyman is the author of Bad Naturalist and a finalist for the Philip D.
