Green reads for quarantine times

By Jaime jovanovich-walker, communications & development coordinator

We’re all spending quite a bit more time indoors of late, and let’s face it: there’s only so much Netflix, board games and jigsaw puzzle action a human being can endure before psychosis sets in. The current stay at home order offers us unparalleled opportunity to delve into long-lost hobbies and interests, and of course, reading. This month, I’d love to share with you my own personal favorite green reads from my bookshelf!

Content warning: This video production was filmed on day 8 of the Stay at Home Order, and as such, features me sans makeup or hair products (yikes!). Further, it will in no way win ANY awards for cinematography or writing (hey, Spielberg, Lucas, and Scorsese all had to start somewhere, right?), and it has enlightened me regarding my superfluous use of adjectives and the word “fun”. Watch at your own discretion (you have been warned).


If you’re on the Faceybooks, I absolutely recommend joining and following these groups. They keep me smiling, laughing, and inspired every day:

Wild Green Memes for Ecological Friends

I Just Know I’ll Die Trying to Pet Something I Shouldn’t

Backwoods Mama

Bird and Moon Comics

Crap Wildlife Photography

I fu**ing love science

Absolutely nothing to do with conservation, but UPS Dogs is great, too.
