Fall Author Series - Thor Hanson

In his newest book Close to Home: The Wonders of Nature Just Outside Your Door, conservation biologist Thor Hanson encourages readers to see just how many exciting natural discoveries can be made in our most familiar environments.

In addition to writing books, Hanson works as an independent conservation biologist. He has consulted for conservation groups and government agencies, and is a sought-after public speaker. He also co-hosted the PBS Nature series American Spring Live, and has appeared as a guest on programs ranging from NPR's Fresh Air to On Point, Science Friday, The World, The Splendid Table, and Book Lust with Nancy Pearl.

This event is co-sponsored by the Milwaukie Environmental Steward's Group, Mama & Hapa's Zero Waste Shop and Spoke & Word Books. Special thanks to the Friends of the Ledding Library for providing the funding that makes this program possible.
