About this Event

Northeast Wilderness Trust Book Discussion: The Light Eaters by Zoë Schlanger

Join David Hindin, environmental advocate and former U.S. EPA career executive, as he leads a discussion with Northeast Wilderness Trust staff, friends and supporters about Zoë Schlanger’s provocative and fascinating book, The Light Eaters. The book explores the new science of plant intelligence, arguing that plants possess sophisticated abilities for decision-making, memory, and communication, challenging traditional views of them as passive organisms.

Participants are expected to have read the book in advance of our discussion. This event is free and open to the public. Participation is capped at 25 registrants.
