SUMMARY:Poets in the 'Root
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 8\, 2025\nTime: 1:00-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: The Barn at Teller\, 1180 Chaffin Ln Corvallis\, Montana\nCost: FREE \nJoin MNHC and Teller Wildlife Refuge for Poets in the ‘Root! \nNature in nearly all manifestations has inspired poets since there were poets! And at least since the Roman poet Horace wrote Ars Poetica or the Art of Poetry in 19BC\, literature\, including poetry\, sought to both instruct and delight. \nPoets in the ‘Root combines these two aims in an uncommon but simple way. One person reads a poem or part of a poem that uses an element of nature to convey its message. Then\, the same or another person gives an explanation (5 minutes max) of some aspect of that nature element. The explanation focuses on nature interpretation\, not literary interpretation. Listeners get a bit of poetry and a bit of natural history. \nThis is a FREE event\, but registration is required. \nWe’ll have refreshments\, including coffee\, tea\, wine\, and snacks! \nAnyone can volunteer to read poetry and/or offer the nature interpretation. This is a fun way for Master Naturalists to earn credit towards their certification. Free and open to the public. \nTo volunteer or to ask questions\, please contact Micki Long at mickilong@gmail.com\n*art by Deb Goslin

SUMMARY:Rooted at the Edge: Reading and Book Signing with Donna Erickson
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, October 2\nTime: 7:00-8:30 p.m.\nLocation: Montana Natural History Center\nCost: Free\, and open to the public \nMNHC is excited to host author Donna Erickson for a reading and signing of her book\, Rooted at the Edge: Ranching Where the Old West and New West Collide. \nRooted at the Edge paints a portrait of a ranching community in a threatened landscape steeped in history\, conflict\, and beauty. \nAcross the West rural lifestyles are increasingly compromised by suburbanization\, economic hardship\, and family dynamics; a way of life and a way of work are vanishing. Ranchland may be simultaneously cherished by a family for the life its members have made there and coveted by urban neighbors for open space. Community residents may love a place for its scenery and wildlife habitat while others wish it converted to a commercial parking lot. Complex ecological relationships can be bulldozed in a single afternoon. And the threats of climate change and shifting populations compromise the edge even more. \nLight refreshments provided. This event is offered in partnership with Fact and Fiction.  \nAbout the Author: Donna Erickson is the author of Rooted at the Edge: Ranching Where the Old West and New West Collide (2025)\, published by the University of Nebraska Press. Erickson grew up on a ranch in Missoula’s North Hills and was a professor of landscape architecture and planning at the University of Michigan for 16 years. She has consulted with land conservation groups across the west from her home in Missoula and has published extensively in design and planning. Erickson’s previous book is MetroGreen: Connecting Open Space in North American Cities.
