Week one: Poetry
Week two: Nature Fiction
Week three: Regional Interest
Week four: Nature Non-Fiction
Share photos of your adventures on our Idler's Rest Facebook Page.

Bibliographies
If you are looking for a good book for yourself or your kids, check out these book lists (click on each to download a PDF). Each is a collection of books about nature, how people come together to protect the land, or how we are all affected by nature. Some are classics and others are newly published. These represent just a small selection that is available to the curious reader. Be sure to talk to your local librarians about other outdoor books as well.
