The outdoors has been a refuge for many of us throughout the pandemic this year. However, many places we visit are crowded, and some are not well-suited to our abilities. Marjorie has lots of suggestions, experience and ideas that can help you have a more positive experience in the outdoors. She has traveled all over Massachusetts, and will share photos, recommend great places, and share "How to find" strategies and suggestions. Her presentation will also include basics about dressing in layers, what to bring with you, how to carry things safely and more. Marjorie Turner Hollman is a writer who loves the outdoors, and has completed three guides to Easy Walking trails in Massachusetts. She has recently released her latest book, Finding Easy Walks Wherever You Are. With limited mobility, she uses hiking poles when heading outdoors. She has been published in local, regional, and national publications. https://marjorieturner.com/easy-walks/ This is a Libraries in the Woods program

The Tilton is co-hosting this FREE Virtual program, sponsored by The Northfield Public Library and Libraries in the Woods. A virtual presentation by John R. Nelson, author of 2019 book Flight Calls: Exploring Massachusetts through Birds. John writes, "In search of birds I've gone further and further afield, first to birdy spots around Massachusetts...next cross-country to the Rio Grande and saguaro deserts, then beyond to whole new families of birds in Belize, Brazil, Botswana, Bhutan, and Borneo....The more time I spend with birds, the more they've become sources of stimulation, not just visual treats or searches rewarded. They've catalyzed the childlike curiosity, one of the great blessings of being human, that becomes dormant in so many of us." Email dmemlib@gmail.com to register for this Zoom program.
