We will hear from two authors wrestling with the urgent and enormous magnitude of climate change – grieving what has, or will soon be, lost while still finding solace and fortitude in nature, family and community. Scientist, activist and author Lynne Quarmby will share readings and photos from Watermelon Snow: Science, Art, and a Lone Polar Bear. Skier and author Ayja Bounous will share readings and photos from Shaped by Snow: Defending the Future of Winter. This session has a special focus on changing winter snow resources and will be facilitated by author and Western Colorado University Director of Nature Writing Laura Pritchett.
