Join Kristin Ohlson (author of The Soil Will Save Us) as she presents fascinating stories of how nature is cooperative, not competitive, in her newest book, Sweet in Tooth and Claw.
Examples of mutually beneficial relationships in nature—and how humans are disrupting them—are all around us. Kristin shares how by changing our view of nature from ravenous to generous, and seeing ourselves as cooperators instead of disruptors, we can repair the damage we’ve done to the natural world and plant the seeds for mutual thriving.
A book signing will follow Kristin’s presentation.
