BELGRADE The town will kick off its a community read Thursday, April 22, with “The Overstory” – a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Richard Powers.
The read is meant to promote the interconnectedness between humans and the natural environment in a fun and informative way, and the read includes a variety of programs throughout the spring and summer using the themes of the book to raise awareness of the importance and beauty of our natural environment, with a focus on trees.
The novel follows nine characters whose close relationships with trees, lasting sometimes for generations, lead them to a deep appreciation of the world’s threatened forests.
