The Unity Club learned about trees during a presentation by Karen Lee at the meeting on Dec. 12 at the home of Ellen Thompson.
Nine members were present for a short business meeting before Lee reviewed four books about trees.
The books were:
“Restoring Faith: What trees teach us about the nature of God and His love for us” by Mathew Sleeth MD about Scripture lessons related to trees.
“Finding the Mother Tree” by Suzanne Simard, an interplay of personal narrative, scientific insights and revelations about the life of the forest.
“The Hidden Life of Trees” by Peter Wohlleben about how trees communicate, feel and live in social networks.
“The Golden Spruce” by John Vaillant, a true story of myth, madness and greed in the story of a sacred tree, a logger-turned-environmentalist and a shocking act of environmental protest in the woods of British Columbia.
The club will meet at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 9 at the conference room at St. John’s Catholic Church with hostess Linda Brocker. Kit McGuffin will have the program.
