Community Calendar

Calling all nature-loving bookworms! The Literature & Nature Book Group at Baltimore Woods welcomes you to nourish and enhance your appreciation of the natural world with ongoing friendly discussions of great writing on that theme. Open to all interested adult members of the community, we will meet at the Interpretive Center (or outside if weather permits) one Saturday a month to delve into a reading of fiction or creative nonfiction chosen by participants.

Our next meeting will take place on September 6 from 10:30 AM to Noon when we will be discussing Playground by Richard Powers.

Join us on Zoom or in person for a lecture by landscape architect, Martha Lyon. Lyon recently completed an extensive Cultural Landscape Report for the Oneida Community Mansion House. A Cultural Landscape Report is a document that examines the complete history of a landscape for the way it developed in terms of plants, vegetation, architecture, and the ways in which it was used by humans throughout time. Lyon will share her richly illustrated findings about how the 13 acres surrounding the Mansion House have evolved from a farm to pleasure garden, private club to a museum campus and beyond.

This is the first time these findings will be shared publicly! It is not to be missed!
