Our first book will be 'Wilding' by Isabella Tree. I hope that members will suggest other books. (We usually divide big books into sections assigned to individuals to reduce workload.) We have read a wide variety of books in this group including George Monbiot's 'Regenesis' and Jake Fiennes 'Land Healer'. We read a variety of books related to sustainability.
