RMSC Eco-Book Club

If you are an outdoor enthusiast and book lover, this reading and hiking book club, hosted by the Rochester Museum & Science Center's Cummings Nature Center and the Naples Library is for you!

During each session, a book about an aspect of the natural world will be discussed followed by a BYO brown bag lunch. Participants can then head out into the woods for a group hike tailored to the theme of the book. Book discussions start at 11am and the hike generally leaves at 12:30pm. All book club meetings take place at the Cumming Nature Center in Naples.

This program is free and open to the public, but advanced registration is requested.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sarah Jacoby Murphy at sjacobymurphy@rmsc.org.
