SUMMARY:NPSOT-Wilco Chapter Meeting: "The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession" with Amy Stewart @ GT Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Join NPSOT-Williamson County on Thursday\, February 13\, 2025\, when our featured topic will be “The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession” with NYT best-selling author Amy Stewart.  Free and open to the public. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting. \n\nPlease note:\n\nOur guest speaker will be joining via Zoom.\nThis month’s presentation will NOT be recorded for YouTube*.\n\n\n\n==> This month’s in-person location is the Georgetown Public Library\, 2nd floor\, 402 West 8th St\, Georgetown\, TX 78626.

But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from something deeper and more profound: a longing for community\, a vision for the future\, or a path to healing and reconciliation. \nIn this 45-minute talk\, Amy introduces audiences to several of the remarkable people she met from around the world whose lives were transformed by their relationships to trees. Accompanied by her own hand-drawn illustrations of people and their trees\, this talk inspires audiences to reconsider their own connections to trees – and maybe start a collection! \nAbout our speaker: Amy Stewart is the New York Times best-selling author of fourteen books\, including The Tree Collectors\, The Drunken Botanist\, Wicked Plants\, and several other popular nonfiction titles about the natural world. She lives in Portland\, Oregon. \nPhoto credit Scott Brown \n\nAt every meeting\, we give away a book — about native plants or the meeting topic — to one randomly chosen in-person attendee! \n\n* If we have permission from our guest speaker\, we record the presentation for our YouTube channel. (See a list of past topics at this link.) \nHave an idea for a speaker?  Let Program Leader Susie Hickman know via  email to wilco-chapter@npsot.org. \nNPSOT-Williamson County meetings are free and open to the public.
