Yesteryears - a book club about the California history you didn’t learn in school.

Richard Preston’s The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring tells the story of a brave, flawed, idealistic group of tree-lovers who, at great risk to their careers and sometimes their lives, revolutionized our knowledge of redwoods and California’s coastal ecosystem. As one Amazon reviewer put it, the book is  “an adventure story, a biography, a love story, and a botany book, all in one.”

Beware: this book may inspire spontaneous road trips to Muir Woods and beyond! 

Come join us at Castro Clubhouse on September 5th at 2 p.m. to share your thoughts on the book. Our hour-long discussion will be followed by light refreshments and a chance to chat more informally with your fellow history buffs.
